Can anyone here extract a copy of the video on this ABC News page? a.abclocal.go.com/kgo/video?id=8926307
This video is 7 years old, it's only 2 minutes long.. It took me hours to finally get to it in kind of a backwards way, you can't search it out on the ABC site even if you use the search on that page (the link to the ABC Go page above). Google is going to do you no good.. It's already seems to have expired from ABC search database and the video itself will completely disappear too before long.
There are but a few links to it on the web, but they are all already dead, the backup links are dead.. The link above is the only access I've been able to turn up at all - it too is going to disappear and I really want a copy before it does.
Sigh.. So, Can, or will somebody snag a copy? It's two minutes long. If I had a desktop or laptop on hand I could do it myself with a little effort.. I've done it before, but all I've got is this Surface RT tablet, and it's very limited with this kind of thing, hell, it's not much good for anything other browsing the web.
So I'm begging'.. Somebody please snag a copy of it, I know it's silly, but I really want an archive of it.

When I click on the link I get a black screen and no video. Can't seem to bring it up, waited for a while.
But the page tab does say radio station in Sausalito.
WAIT!!! got it!! Here it is. Searched it on Yahoo and came up with it.
But doesn't seem to be able to be extracted. Only viewed. Have to watch an ad first.

Perfect! Yes I received it and it plays fine. Even the Radio Sausalito links to it have been dead for at least a year or two and so was their backup links to it. I really didn't wasn't it to disappear completely - which it would have, they all do over time.
By the way, yesterday I posted a chronicle order of news articles about Radio Sausalito's last 20 years of their part 15 station. Some people feel like a part 15 station getting recognition in mainstream media is some kind of curse or threat to a station, but it couldn't be farther from the truth. It's actually a blessing, as long as your station actually is operating within a semblance of legality.
Forget ground leads, forget pretending you have no ground because you don't actually have a wire contacted to the lead with your transmitter 30 or 40 feet in the air.. Forget trying to insure legality by maintaining the entire system within 10 feet.. It's all a farce, there has never, in history actually been any systems in operation - ever - never -which actually conformed to the rules, it's practically an impossibility. Even the certified Talking house, which is the most used one in history, does not actually conform to code, because once it's plugged in and turned on the system immediately exceeds the 3 meter limit by tying into your house wire system.. that's actually the case with any certified Part 15 transmitter, but it's more obvious with the TH.
All the part 15 systems used in national parks, historic sites, where ever, thousands of them, ever since about 1970, consistently, they are always, and have always been, and still are today 10 to 15 feet of lead and well grounded.. and have always been permitted.. For years all those installs have been out of compliance with the letter of the "law". But there's one distinctive feature about all of them which insures their continued operation - it's the range.
Same goes for all those years of Atlanta Records high profile use of part 15 in the 1980s and 1990s, whos installs were covered in TV news, newspapers, magazines,.. the FCC never laid the hammer down on them, Yellowstone, who started the whole practice in the late 60s on through the 1970s who's part 15 transmitters were also high profile in the mainstream media, never had the hammer laid on them, and now in the 2000's there's Radio Sausalito with their high profile part 15 operations for almost twenty years now.. no hammer laid down on them (except for when they were doing it on FM about 15 years ago), No.. no problem.
The concern isn't actually ground leads. The ground lead is just the excuse used to shut a station down. The concern is always RANGE.
Part 15 is limited area broadcasting. If you want to achieve miles of range with part 15, then employ numerous part 15 transmitters spread around the area of coverage.
If hobbyist wish to insure continued operation of their station, then they need to stop focusing on how far they can transmit, and start worrying about how far their signal is going. If your exceeding more than about a mile with just one transmitter, then you're risking receiving an NOUO. Keep you RANGE in check and you should be fine. The last 40 years of part 15 right on into the present day provides heavy evidence of this fact.
... Sorry, guess I went off in a rant there, I had no intention of saying any of this when I started.. The point was supposed to be that receiving media coverage for your part 15 station is a good thing. A lot of people seem to have become afraid of media coverage ever since KENC downfall, saying that if the agent hadn't of seen the newspaper articles about KENC then he wouldn't have been shut down.. which may be true, but it wasn't the media coverage that got him shut down, it was the range each transmitter was achieving that got him shut down.
Anyway, getting attention in mainstream media is a good thing. One prime example is Radio Sausalito: He just wanted to listen to jazz in the kitchen
