[NCARC] Request for help for a High School project

[Steve Henry]

Hi NCARC---

I received an email from a local high school student, Jake Wood, asking for
help with the application process for a local FM radio station.  He is
looking for some guidance in the technical part of the application.  This
involves doing some frequency analysis (see Jake's email to me below).

If you are interested and can help in any capacity, please contact Jake
directly at jake at woodfamily.homeip.net or call him (phone number below).

Hi Jake-

Thanks very much for your email.  I'd be happy to put out a request to our
membership to see if anyone might be able to assist you in the application.
However, I don't know what experience we have in our members-- our focus is
primarily on amateur radio and I don' t believe we have very many members
with a background in broadcast engineering.  However a few of the members
have some expertise in radio installation and may have an interest in
helping out.

I'm personally not familiar with the application process and didn't know
what a contour protection was-- and so I did a quick search out on the FCC
database and found this link (which I imagine you probably already have):

http://www.fcc.gov/mb/audio/howtoapply.html

I'll send out an email today.

Sincerely,

Steve Henry
NCARC President

Dear Mr. Henry,

My name is Jake Wood; I’m a sophomore at Poudre High School in Fort Collins.
As a Capstone Project for next year, I’m hoping to start an FM station for
the high school population of Fort Collins.  That being said, there are some
things I’m wondering if the NCARC will be able to help me with.  I need
someone to help me do a frequency search, contour protection workings, all
the worksheets on the permit; and some other tech help with the FCC
construction permit.

If you know of anyone in the area who you think would be willing to help,
please let me know.  If you’d like, you can call me at home, my number is
221-3182.

Thanks,
Jake Wood
