Radio 400
United States educational settlements have one of the largest radio networks in the world; much of it funded with public money. During today's session limit our break down to, (1) Security and maintenance personnel radio, (2) Broadcast and student radio. We do not cover content issues; though we cover the technology that supports transmission of content using publicly owned facilities.
LIVE: WSND 89.9 FM
The classical and fine arts of the University of Notre Dame -- not affiliated with National Public Radio -- broadcasting to the Great Lakes region at 88.9 on radios and livestream 24/7 on the internet.
Open Commission Meeting
March 27, 2026 Open Meeting. Additional content: Why so many overlapping National Public Radio News Services beyond the boundaries of college towns? Why are these services competing with the private sector for advertising dollars? What happened to the "cultural content" which was the intent of the original Public Broadcasting Act of 1967? How do they get away with "Argumentum a Silentio" on the role and size of government?
Wireless Standards
Overview of IEEE 802.11 wireless standards with detailed attention to the IEEE 802.1X tranche of standards that assures internet access for security.
Current Issues & Recent Research
Today at the usual hour we summarize the highlights of events and decisions made at the I&CPS Conference in Lexington, Kentucky last week. We always schedule it the week ahead of Mother's Day; our 62nd year.
Falsus in uno, Falsus in omnibus
A half truth is a full lie. In gales of audacious Goebbels-like innuendo -- despite Congressional budget recissions against its ideological turpitude -- the soundtrack of American academia persists in its off-the-chain political bias with many hosted from "university adjacent" facilities; not illegal but should be. Unpacking signal overlap with bias saturation cannot happen soon enough. With link to Marconi's reflections on use of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Elevators & Lifts
Education communities--specifically research colleges and universities--are stewards of 100's of elevators. The first cost of building them--$50,000 to $150,000 per floor-- is outpaced by the life cycle cost of maintaining licensed mechanics, inspection fees and software upgrades. Today we update our understanding of the moment in regulations; taking time to examine state-level exceptions and adaptations of generally accepted best practice.
