FCC Passes Rule
On Transponders
Under a regulation passed this month by the Federal
Communications Commission, unlicensed devices which rad-
iate electricity—such as station WDFM's five transponders
—may not be effective for more than 75 feet.
This seems to explain why students have difficulty pick-
ing up the station's AM signa
of the transponders, which are de
vices to change the FM signal to
AIM, are inoperative.
These two are in Atherton and
McElwain dormitories, according
to James Raleigh, station engi
neer.
The FCC's new rule permits the
maximum satiating range of 75
feet for unlicensed devices_ Such
a range would include the dormi
tories on campus but would permit
the use of only a weak beam.
Has FM License Only
Student operated WDFM is li
censed by the FCC as an FM sta
tion but not AM.
Raleigh said the problem the
station faces is that the transpon
ders radiate into the airwaves and
these go to other places besides
dormitories.
Radio waves cannot be piped
into a particular building as is
electricity or steam, he said. The
only thing to do is decrease the
signal radiating from the trans
ponders.
Why doesn't the station request
a license to operate on the AM
band? Raleigh says there are sev
eral disadvantages to this.
Long Broadcast Hours
As an AM station, WDFM would
be required to operate, under FCC
rules, at least two-thirds of the
daylight hours. Students would be
in class most of this time, as
would the radio operators, Raleigh
said.
Another factor against an AM
license is that the AM band is
crowded with commercial stations
and many more are waiting to be
designated a frequency, he said.
The three areas which have
working transponders are McAl
lister. Women's Building, and
West Dorms.
Raleigh said he is making plans
to erect another on Grange some
time this spring.
lie also said the inoperative
transponder are being repaired.
