D^NEWS r National Radio Glut •SINCE 1933- Volume 47, No. Monday, Dec. 3, 1979- ) STATIC FROM HQ Last week's issue went out the same day as a fire and flood at the Main Post Office here in Louisville. My wife waded, literally, through water to reach the permit mail section. We are unsure how much delay resulted, but incoming columns also were affected. Hopefully, however, this issue will get out on time since it's another small issue. On the local scene, all-news WDGS-1290 in New Albany, IN left the air Tuesday, Nov. 20. Their operation was unprofitable. Prospects for the frequency are uncertain. Support for Musings improved for this issue—I even have a Muse this time! How about sitting down and letting the rest know your DX doings. Note that ERC has designated special issues, but don't let this keep you from sending in your contribution now. And don't forget the other columns. s^~) , CPC TESTS Many of you have been asked already by Neil Zank to send out CPC letters. If you have please do so right away.

KADio/The lure of DXing
• +-> *H O O -P G 3 a H * o -O <n * 5 -d o at <n •
B y Annabelle Kerins When the sun goes down, Long Island AM ra
dio tunes out, but some Long Island listeners tune in.
Some listeners, like one in Farmingdale, just find the out-of-area programs better. "The penny-ante stations on Long Island with what is called music, I can do without," writes William Engle.
Others just like the sound of faraway places. And there is even a group devoted to long-distance listening. Members call themselves DXers. DX is an abbreviation borrowed from the early radio telegraphers, and it means distant reception or transmission. The DXers belong to the National Radio Club and try to hear broadcasts from as far away as possible.
Linda Brodsky of Malverne has heard mainland China at 1525 on the dial, and she has a tape recording of the station's interval, the musical notes stations use to identify themselves, to prove it. Now she's using a $30 portable radio, and she gets Monte Carlo on that.
Many DXers try to verify their listenings, either by recording the station as Mrs. Brodsky does, or by writing the station they heard, describing the program and getting a return letter or card from the station certifying the listening. That is, of course, a lot of postage. Especially for someone like Ernest Cooper of Provincetown, Mass., who has about 4,124 verifications.
Cooper began his hobby aa a bey in the 1930s when he lived in Brooklyn. His father was a radio buff and Cooper picked up the addiction. He is one of more than 700 members of the National Radio Club, nationwide and overseas.
The club, which charges $18 to join, provides a publication, DX News, about 32 times a year. DX News lets listeners swap information on what stations they've heard and other items about radio. According to Greg Monti, an announcer with WGBB-AM/1240, the ramblings that only barely relate to radio are aa interesting as who's hearing what. He used to be able to get Radio Sandiuo from Nicaragua, which was a revolutionary station before the Sandanistas became the establishment.
DXing is not an expensive hobby. Larry Fox of Valley Stream uses a $39.35 radio. T h e band spread is wider on this particular radio. It's very good for long-distance listening." That's because, according to Fox, U.S. stations broadcast 10 megahertz apart on the AM band. WABC is at 770, the next station would be 780 and so forth. Stations in other countries broadcast in between. Portugal is at 782, for example. The farther apart the stations are on the radio dial, the easier it is to tune in foreign broadcasts, he said.
The club, which says it is the world's oldest and largest AM band DX club, can be reached by writing the National Radio Club, P.O. Box 32125, Louisville, Ky. 40232. It costs $18 to join, and that gets you 32 issues of DX News.

Playing musical chairs What has four parts and a million complications? The deal, finned up recently, which would make
WJAR an FM station at WRLM-FM's 93.3 frequency, send WHIM to WJAR's 920 frequency, find' minority ownership and new call letters at WHIM'S 1110 frequency, and have WRLM-FM disappear forever.
Only approval by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is needed (or the changes to be made, and that should take about six months. In the meantime, the following dialogue may demystify the mysterious:
If the FCC approves the deal, what would happen to WHIM's country and western programming? m „„ —

And what about WJAR? What indeed? K seems unlikely that the station would
keep its current adult contemporary format, but program director Peter Mokover says he will not discuss the tiqn because die FCC forbids detailed discussion of what
ion would do until the commission has approved the

would stay country under its new ownership, according to Henry E . Hampton, majority partner in East Providence Broadcasting Inc., which would own the new station at the frequency.
What else would the new liw do? More public service/Hampton says — but that won't
necessarily be black-oriented either. Hampton says he wants to make the station a "responsive instrument" to all the state's ethnic communities.
What would WHIM do at 920? That's uncertain, says owner John Franks. AH that is
set, he says, is that the station would carry the Red Sox and Brown and Patriots football, and that Sherm Strick-houser would be the only one of the station's present personalities to move to 920.
Sherm Strickhouser? Does that mean WHIM would go all-talk?
Possible, but highly unlikely, Franks says. Chances are that the final format would be close to what is now on the air with WJAR, he says.

What does all this add up to? Until the FCC acts, nothing. After that, and after lis
teners have had time to find the new stations, maybe a different radio world for Providence.
So far, the WPROs and WPJB-FM have had the major part of the audience that doesn't listen to background music, and there was no reason to expect that to change in the near future.
But with WHIM on a 24-hour frequency instead of one that operates only from dawn to dusk, and with WJAR on a good-quality FM signal, both should become much greater factors in the ratings race. And that could mean some changes at the other stations as well . .
WDOM-FM kicks off its first season of New York Philharmonic concerts from 2 to 4 p.m. today, with Zubin Mehta conducting. Then from 7 to 9 p.m., it's the first broadcast of WDOM's second season of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, with Sir Georg Soiti at the baton.
