Greyhouse Coffee and Supply
The Big Ten Conference ($846M) -- since 1895 grown organically from collegiate athletic units centered in the American Midwest -- is now the largest athletic conference in the United States -- supporting disciplines that are the only remaining meritocracy in public education. Its media network runs a series of "campus adjacent" coffee house tours; this one conducted by Jenny and Troy from West Lafayette Indiana.
Radio Transmission Power & Frequency Allocation
Why are there at least ten publicly funded radio stations receivable in a 75 mile radius up and down the I-94/I-75 corridor in Lower Peninsula Michigan -- all of them domiciled in public universities? Today at 15:00 UTC we explore signal strength standards and implications of gaps and overlaps from a public safety standpoint.

School of the Air
The American School of the Air was a half-hour educational radio program presented by CBS as a public affairs teaching supplement over an 18-year period during the 1930s and 1940s. CBS followed the lead of the first School of the Air which began in 1929 at Ohio State University. Since 1951 another School of the Air has delivered lessons by radio to students in the remote outback of Australia.
Quadrivium: Spring
Educational settlements are the closest many people come to feel at home in beautiful surroundings. The catalog that informs the safety and sustainability of these "cities-within-cities" changes 100 to 1000 times per day. By design titles are unstable, time-sensitive and copyright protected. We explore the action continuously; assign priorities, then schedule a separate teleconference to formulate responses to public consultations. Daily colloquia topics appear on our CALENDAR.
Campus Low-Power-Transmitters
The electromagnetic spectrum is the most heavily regulated form of energy on earth. In the USA Carrier Current stations and Campus Radio stations do not require a license to set up and operate. A carrier current station consists of an AM radio frequency signal on a frequency between 535 and 1705 kHz injected into a power line. They are governed by 47 CFR Sections 15.207(c), 15.209(a), and 15.221 of the Commission's rules and are accessible in the link provided here.
Voice Communications Devices for Use by Emergency Services
The NFPA Standards Council is merging legacy title 1802 into 1930 --Standard on Fire and Emergency Service Use of Thermal Imagers, Two-Way Portable RF Voice Communication Devices, Ground Ladders, and Fire Hose, and Fire Hose Appliances -- all essential technologies for campus fire safety. Comments on the 2025 Second Draft will be received until October 31st.
H.R. 3410 Prohibit Federal funding of National Public Radio

Hunting for Radio Frequency Interference
Amy Nordrum, Associate Editor for IEEE Spectrum, joins an expert on a hunt for radio frequency interference; an important journey since much of legacy radio communication will still be available if the world wide web is not.
