KZUM on the ns despite some crossed signals
A new day is dawning for broadcasting
in Lincoln: Sunrise Communications is
forming an alternative to the standard com
mercial radio. The new concept is station
KZUM-FM a public radio facility billed as
an educational, community -access station.
The Sunrise group worked three years
to get ppermission from the Federal Com
munications Commission (FCC) to con
struct the station. Opposition to the
request came from WOWT (television
channel six in Omaha) and this caused the
delay, said Ron Kurtenbach, a member of
the Sunrise organization. He explained that
the KZUM frequency, 89.5 on the FM
radio band, was anticipated to interfere
with the television's audio frequency,
87.75, and the video frequency that is just
below it.
But the signal hasn't caused any
problems yet, according to Kurtenbach.
He said there have been test signals broad
cast and that interference complaints have
been minor. The next step, he said, is to
apply for program test authority from the
FCC which will allow further testing of the
signal with actual programs rather than just
the short sporadic checks. After that Sun
rise will apply for a formal broadcasting
permit.
Kurtenbach said part of the agreement
negotiated between Sunrise and the FCC
for the test authorization calls for KZUM
to solve the interference problems. .
"We're not obliged to install a new
tuner on the affected TVs, but we are
obliged to put a filter on the TV's antenna
to screen out the radio signal," he said. At
this time the radio station's power is only
10 watts but the signal reaches most of
Lincoln, Kurtenbach said. Still, there will
be later requests for more power, he added.
Larry Molcyzk, another Sunrise mem
ber, said his experience with the project
has been a learning experience. He said the
antenna was one example. Molczyka said
he used to think a radio station used the
entire tower structure to broadcast its
signal, but he learned that the tower only
supports the antenna at the top, which in
the case of KZUM is a couple of wire loops
with 8-inch diameters. The KZUM antenna
is on the Yello Cab dispatching tower at
14th and Cornhusker highway.
Sunrise members hope the station will
beon the air by middle or late February,
Molczyk said, but that doesn't mean that
all the work is already done. He said the
broadcast studio is equipped with two
turntables, one cassette and two reel-to-reel
tape players, plus microphones. How
ever, most of the equipment has been

donated for temporary use and Molczyk
said the station still can use volunteer's
time, money and hardware.
'There are many ways the public can
help," he said. "People can donate money
and equipment like old speakers to be used
for monitoring systems, records and disc
washers. There are lots of little things we
need for the future but are borrowing for
now."
Money for the station is being raised by
subscription memberships, Kurtenbach
said. "We're definitely low. in finances so
we're asking for subscriptions by mail.
That will let the people who are listening
to the station give their support and it will
become 'their' station."
Another way the station will be avail
able to Lincoln residents is through direct
public access. Kurtenbach said this means
anyone can produce a show on any subject
and, if it is approved the Sunrise program
review committee, it will be played on the
air. Pr, he said, people can be on the air as
disc jockeys or commentators, they can
phone the station during call-in talk shows
or even come up with a new program idea.
Molczyk said, 'Time and resources will
be available for public access. One-sixteenth
of our broadcast day will be open to the
public to talk about their interests, some
project their group might be planning or
just about the day's events." He also listed
special music shows and in-depth local
news as possible programs.
"We're very interested in being open to
local talent and artists," Kurtenback said.
He encouraged all interested persons to call
the station at 474-5086 or visit the studio
at 2635 Randolph. The station's board of
directors meet every Sunday at 5:00 p.m.
and the program review committee meets
every Saturday at 10:30 a.m. at the station
and he invited the public to attend the
meetings.
There are local projects to benefit the
station, too. There will be a benefit con
cert tonight at the Gaslight Lounge, 322
south 9th St., featuring John Walker,
Laurie McClain, Salley Cowen, Dave
Fowler, Doug J3ickerson, Dave Landis,
Wliller MePherson the Adams Brothers
Bluegrass Band and other Lincoln folk,
acoustic and bluegrass musicians. Admis
sion will be $1.50.
Terry Moore, owner of Dirt Cheap, is
offering a special on records donated to
KZUM. He said people can pay for a record
at Dirt Cheap and receive a ten to 15 per
cent discount off the proce. The buyer will
get a receipt but the record shop will hold
the record until someone from the radio
station can pick it up. Dirt Cheap also has
KZUM subscriptions and Moore said the
cashiers will accept the membership dues
and issue the subscription to the donor.
Moore said he is sponsoring these services
"because public radio has no other way of
supporting itself unless the businesses and
community take some active way to help
it. They need the records and this is one
way we can help the station." Dirt Cheap
will donate some promotional albums, too,
Moore said.
However, Larry Molczyk said that
volunteering his time to the station helps
him in return by adding to his experience
in publicity, public relations and fund-raising.
"I've always had a yearning desire to be
in the media, whether it be print or broad
cast. I'm a would-be journalist, I suppose."
he said. .-
