CABLE RATE FREEZE. See first item under "NEWS
RELEASES" above.
Report No. DC-2567 ACTION IN DOCKET
CASE February 8, 1994
FCC FREEZES CABLE REVENUES WHILE IT
FINALIZES RATE REGULATION
(MM Docket 92-266)
The Commission today extended its freeze of
regulated cable
service revenues from February 15, 1994 to May 15,
1994, to give
affected parties time to familiarize themselves with any
modifications to the Commission's rules that the
Commission may
adopt later this month when it considers pending petitions
for
reconsideration of the cable rate regulations. The freeze
will
also facilitate the orderly implementation of any new rules
that
may be adopted at that time.
In the absence of this freeze, cable operators could
increase
their revenues while the Commission is completing its
pending
reconsideration of cable rate regulations. The
Commission expects
to have any modifications to the rules, which may result
from the
pending reconsideration, in place by the time this freeze
expires.
As a result, this freeze will prevent unjustifiable rate
increases
before franchising authorities have been given the
opportunity to
become familiar with any revised rules and prepare to
regulate
cable television rates.
As of January 31, 1994, the Commission has received
4,896
applications for certification from local franchising
authorities
covering approximately 7,534 communities serviced by
cable, which
represents a significant increase from November 1993.
The freeze
period is the minimum amount of time necessary for
franchising
authorities and other affected parties to familiarize
themselves
with any new rules that may be adopted and prepare to
regulate
cable operators before the effective date of any such
rules.
Cable operators may petition for relief from the
requirements
of the freeze where the operator can show that the freeze
is
causing severe economic hardship or threatens the
viability of
continued provision of cable service.
Action by the Commission February 8, 1994, by
Order (FCC 94-
33). Chairman Hundt, Commissioners Quello and
Barrett, with
Commissioner Barrett issuing a separate statement.

OMB DESIGNATES FCC AS PILOT AGENCY FOR
PROGRAM PERFORMANCE PLANNING
The Federal Communications Commission has been designated by the Director, Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) as a Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA) program performance planning pilot for fiscal years
1994, 1995, and 1996. Participation in the program performance plan pilot, which encourages the development of alternative
performance indicators, would provide the Commission with the opportunity to re-evaluate existing performance indicators and
provide some insight into developing customer service standards as a means of measuring program performance.
The pilot designation covers the Private Radio Bureau's Land Mobile Radio Application activity, and the Office of
Engineering & Technology's Equipment Authorization activity. These and other Commission licensing activities are uniquely
representative of the type of federal functions identified in OMB's GPRA implementation plan, since they span multiple service
categories and represent a sizable portion of the Commission's workload. Further, as the Commission's current management
reporting system includes much of the necessary framework needed for program performance planning, its current operations
provide an ideal environment for testing various features of the Act and for developing final agency guidelines prior to
government-wide implementation of program performance planning in FY 1998.
In his letter to Chairman Hundt, OMB Director Leon Panetta said: "With this new Act, we have the means at hand for
bringing about basic changes in how our Government works and is managed. These changes will not be easy or simple to
accomplish. The pilot projects are a valuable opportunity to gain experience in achieving this transformation."
In fulfillment of its role as a program performance planning pilot, the Commission will prepare and forward to OMB
annual program performance plans and reports on actual program performance. OMB will use the results of the Commission
pilot, together with the results of other federal agencies' pilots, in developing its pilot summary report to Congress in which it
may recommend revisions to the GPRA.
(over)
-2-
The GPRA was passed in response to Congressional concerns that government programs lacked sufficient articulation
of goals and therefore cannot provide adequate information on program performance.

FCC ISSUES INFORMATION REGARDING CABLE RATE COMPLAINT PROCESS
Some recent news reports have indicated that, after February 28, 1994, cable television subscribers, franchising
authorities and State and local government entities will not be able to file complaints in response to changes in cable programming
service rates. The purpose of this announcement is to clarify the legal requirements related to filing complaints under the Cable
Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992.
The Cable Act provides that cable subscribers, franchising authorities and State and local government entities should
have a reasonable period of time to complain about changes in their cable programming service rates. The Commission has
established that reasonable period as 45 days from the date the subscriber receives a bill showing a rate change.
However, the Cable Act provided that, following the Commission's adoption of regulations to implement the Act, a 180-
day complaint period would apply to give affected parties additional time to file complaints. That 180-day period, which will
expire on February 28, 1994, applies only to complaints filed in response to rate changes made following the implementation
of the initial regulations on September 1, 1993.
Cable subscribers, franchising authorities and State and local government entities will continue to have 45 days to
complain about changes in cable programming service rates. Therefore, cable subscribers, franchising authorities and State and
local government entities will continue to have the opportunity to ask the Commission to review what they believe to be
unreasonable changes in rates for cable programming service. In assessing the reasonableness of a rate, the Commission will
consider the total rate and not just the most recent rate increase. This opportunity will continue, for example, regardless of any
changes to its rules the Commission may or may not adopt at its meeting on February 22, 1994.
Under the Cable Act, the Commission does not regulate the basic service tier, defined in the Cable Act as the program
package which includes signals from local television stations (such as ABC, CBS, and NBC affiliates and independent television
stations).
(over)
-2-
Rates for basic tier service are regulated by local franchising authorities, who must first certify their intent to regulate with the
Commission. The Commission is responsible for the regulation of rates for cable programming service, which includes all
channels not included in basic service and not offered separately as pay-per-channel programming or pay-per-view program
services, and related equipment.
Complaints must be filed on FCC Form 329, the Cable Programming Service Rate Complaint Form. Anyone wishing
to file a complaint in response to cable programming service rates should write to the Federal Communications Commission,
Cable Form Request 329, Post Office Box 18238, Washington, D.C. 20036 or call 202-416-0919 to request a copy of Form 329.
To obtain assistance in completing Form 329, call (202) 416-0902. The complaint form may be returned to the Commission by
mail or by facsimile machine.

N connectors also make an effort to be weather resistant where PL-259/SO-239
do not. Land mobile radios seem to use SO-239 up to UHF (512MHZ max), then
N connectors (800/900, etc.).

No. If you want a 2m rig, look for a VHF High-band radio. They come
in splits like 138-150, 150-162, 162-174. The obvious choice is the
split similar to 138-150; it should simply tune and play. The next
choice is the 150-162 split; they often just tune down to 146Mhz with
no work, but there is the risk that they won't. Sometimes you can add
a few capacitors, etc., but if the helical resonators won't peak at
your frequency of interest, you're better off looking for another
radio. It is my experience that land mobile gear is highly reliable
until you start making major modifications, i.e. use a 162-174MHz
radio for 145MHz packet, etc.

Exactly! The trick is knowing which ones are "better" and which
ones won't work. I've long promised to write a "Land Mobile Gear on
Amateur Radio" FAQ, but have yet to spend enough time....

I tried one, and it tended to melt down everything. You need more
concentrated heat.
By the way, be careful when comparing soldering irons and soldering guns.
A 100 watt soldering iron is turning all 100 watts into useful heat.
But a 100 watt soldering gun is losing maybe 20-30% of that power
in its transformer. Also, if you have even slightly imperfect
connections from the element to the gun, you lose even more power.
I ended up my gun and a 40-watt iron at the same time. Also remember
that the cheap nickel-plated connectors are harder to solder than
the silver-plated ones.

Subject : Morse code as words!
I have been on CW for about 7 years. I first learned CW at age 14, and
promptly took two years off (so I forgot most of it). I re-acquired the
ability to copy code, and in eight months was up to about 20 wpm. This
was roughly 7 years ago, and JUST in the last year have I begun to start
hearing words instead of letters. For me, this came at roughly 28 wpm
or so (plus or minus a bit), and with a good amount of listening and
operating.
For instance, when you see the word "INCOGNITO" or "AMATEUR" or
"SCHEDULE" or virtually ANYTHING else, do you have any problem at all
saying the word out loud? No, of course not, because you're been reading
since a very young age. Now, if someone taught you the Hebrew alphabet
and asked you to read Hebrew, you would have to sound out every letter.
I guarantee that you would NOT appear fluent (this is my case).
Similarly, at age whatever, you have been taught the letters of the
Morse Code. Words are made up of letters, but hearing letters and
converting them to words is NOT equivalent to hearing words. I now
hear words like the, and, or, if, you, etc., etc.
And suffixes, like -ing, -est, -ier, and -er.
