but why bother? '

The reason for this letter, is to inform you people out there why you don't hear Radio U.P.E.I. anymore. Well, to be frank you will never hear Radio U.P.E.I. again; but don't despair, we are going to

'have a "real Radio station" after Santa comes. Well, now that you are probably thoroughly confused, I will go on to explain.

First of all, any one who is in Residence this ‘year knows that they could hardly pick up "Radio U.P.E.I." in their rooms; if they could pick it up at all! And for those of you

who spent many long hours in

the barn, if you were lucky

you might hear Radio U.P.E.I.

and if you were really lucky, you didn't have to listen to some idiot yell— ing his head off up in the station. Well, it's all over!

The rest of the Execu- tive and myself finally got fed up, and undertook a

man ’3

Perhaps this letter is late. That I should apologize for,

So, thanks guys and gals, we

that Radio U.P.E.I. should cease operations until January, 1973 to enable us

to make the technical changes that we have to do; and that

is why we are no longer on the air.

I will give you a brief description of what we are going to do but I will have

to leave out some detail for

a couple of very good rea— sons, but anyone who is interested in just what we

are going to do, can contact

either Kenny or myself in the\Radio station or by

phoning 892—7333 or 892-4727.

As you might know, the

Radio station is on 4th Main.;

From 4th Main the sound is

distributed to all buildings

on campus by means of tele- phone lines owned by Island Telephone Company. Well, we have had continuous trouble with these lines and for the price that we have been paying to rent them, a decision was taken to run our own lines, so

‘ that if you see some funny

looking guys coming out of

i the steam tunnels, that's

full scale campaign to better to

Radio U.P.E.I.

But to do this 2 things ‘ had to be done.

1. Equipment wise and

2. personnel wise.

The latter will be dis— cussed shortly: '

Many hours were spent by Kenny Adams (Engineer of R.U.P.E.I.) and myself, trying to come up with a system for Radio U.P.E.I. which will enable coverage in all residence buildings on campus.

After many trips to U.N.B. and Mt. A. we came to the conclusion that we had the perfect system. Now came the never ending task of putting this all down on paper for presen— tation to the Student Council. On a rainy day in October, this presenta- tion was made and to the delight of the staff of Radio U.P.E.I. our plan was approved and our bud- get was passed fOr $8,000, which is $3,000 over last year's. Perhaps I should put a slight note here thanking the people on the Student Council for having confidence in our plan and the staff of Radio U.P.E.I.

At the same meeting, I proposed

Consideration is being given to having a request line from each residence to the station, but this is still up in the air.

When I said at the beginning of this short note that Radio U.P.E.I. is dead, that is true, since we will no longer

be known as Radio U.P.E.I.,

but rather we will have call letters like CFCY

in town. A suggestion

and most probably combin— ation of letters, which would be acceptable to . the C.R.T.C., which is the governing body of all Radio and Television broadcasting, would be C.P.E.I. Thus you would be hearing "You're lis- tening to Radio C'PEI

(see P.E.I.) 700 on your AM dial."

Now you will probably be asking why all these changes, well the reason is very simple. We are going to apply to the Radio and Television Commission for a broadcasting licence and to do so we need approved call letters and an open frequency, which in this area is 700 K.C.

The final change in the station will we are going to be broad- casting. In other words, anyone who wants to do a show, will have to obey strict rules on what is to
