Show THE8S Thursday, May 3, 1979 Page 8 It Takes Paper To Get On The Air A year's work by local radio pioneers has produced a massive assortment of documents which have been forwarded to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in Washington. The paperwork constitutes a major portion of the preparation required for operation of a noncommercial, non-commercial, community radio station here. Blair Feulner, president of Community Wireless of Park City, said six pounds of documents were mailed Friday te the FCC. He noted that completion of the application ap-plication puts the non-profit radio station "three-quarters "three-quarters of the way" to being on the air. Feulner commented that actual construction of the station in the Memorial Building will be much easier and "a hell of a lot more fun" than completing the paperwork. One of the major obstacles ob-stacles to be hurdled by the new station was convincing the FCC that Park City can provide the financial support sup-port needed to continue operation, according the the president. The annual budget is projected to be less than $20,000. The station staged a successful suc-cessful fundraiser last February, which Feulner felt demonstrated community com-munity support of the undertaking. un-dertaking. But the FCC requires committment, not projections, so the station's board of trustees had to look for a operating capital guaratee. Help came from within as trustee Mary Lehmer and her son John, along with board member Jim Lynn, pledged to un derwrite the venture. The Lehmers offered $4,500 to offset off-set any possible deficit while Lynn added $2,000. "Without Lehmers' and Lynn's generosity, we would have had to wait until the money was in the bank to file the application. ...and that would have meant Park City wouldn't have had a radio station until sometime next year." Now, he said, the timetable for building the station depends how fast the FCC processes the application. ap-plication. "Judging from similar applications, I would say that the best possible case would be for Wireless to get a grant of a construction permit in four months." "Worst possible case, assuming we didn't screw up the application, would be six months." Feulner and other members mem-bers of the group have helped build radio stations before and he explained what will happen in the coming months. "First the FCC will review the application to see if there are any obvious problems. If there are none, the application will be accepted ac-cepted for filing." "The application is then placed on a 30 day cut-off list, during which any person can file comments concerning the proposed station." "After that, the FCC reviews it again, and grants a permit to being construction, construc-tion, if everything is in order." or-der." Only at that point can the group begin building the station's studios in the Memorial Building, and Legal Notice Community Wireless of Park City, Inc., a non-profit corporation, P.O. 1372, Park City, Utah, 84060 will on April 17, 1979 file application with the Federal Communications Communi-cations Commission for a license to broadcast on a frequency of 91.9 mhz at a power of 103 watts, to serve the greater Park City area with transmitter located at 662 Tramway, studio at 427 Main Street.

"We don't want to hold any local fundraisers for several months, because it wouldn't be right to ask people for money until we're sure we'll get a license." . For the same reason, Feulner also stated that training sessions for the volunteer broadcasters, who will make-up 90 percent of the station's "on-air" staff, will not be held until the government indicates it will grant a construction permit. Meanwhile, Feulner hopes that residents don't lose their enthusiasm for the project. "This is not going to be any one person's personal radio station. ...there will be at least 50 volunteers on the air and many more residents resi-dents involved in news, programming, engineering and policy making." Feulner stated that an October Oc-tober meeting had been ten tatively set for a "general membership meeting" at which residents would be electing members to the Board of Trustees of the station and the "programing "program-ing Advisory Board."
