World
Wide "Streaming" Webcast from Surf Radio AM 1260
featuring Don McCulloch & Friends -
Commemorating the 100th year of
Radio.
September 21, 2002
Radio
Stations -- The Surf AM1260,
K-Mozart FM105.1, played host to a
special NBS100.com
International Wireless broadcast in Los Angeles,
California, USA, as part of a Radio Broadcasting
Documentary & World Wide "Streaming" VOD
Webcast, commemorating the 100th year of Radio
Broadcasting.
---- "It took one
hundred years to prove that the Wireless Telephone
was radio, now it's part of television," --said
entertainer Troy Cory - of LookRadio. "Instead of
our regular Concert event that features dancing
girls, this Troy Cory Show consisted of the
talented LookRadio staff (10 webcast technicians
and interviewers), and the staff DJs at The Surf
and K-mozart.
---- This historical
Los Angeles webcast is part of six Wireless
Telephone MPEG-4 telecasts that originated from
Washington D.C., Philadelphia, New York, Germany,
China, and from The Surf and K-Mozart in Los
Angeles. All of the segments will become part of
the D-Diaries, and Stubblefield Broadcast
Documentary series for Public Television. The
Segments can be seen daily on Smart90.com/surfradio
-- or on LookRadio Channel
09 in MPEG-4, the best of S90tv quality.
Radio
Historians say YES --
that Nathan B. Stubblefield's 1902
wireless telephone broadcasts in Washington,
Philadelphia and New York were the world's first.
This is the 2002 message the family members of the
wireless telephone radio inventor and patent holder
(Patent
No. 887,657) are attempting to instill in the
minds of broadcasters.
---- Commemorating
the 100th year anniversary of radio has been
handicapped by the 9/11 attack, "but we've found
that words and music by Cole Porter and Sammy
Faine, played by stations like The Surf and
K-Mozart, can help ease the pain", says, Pete
Allman, during his televised interview with Don
McCulloch, of Radio DeLuxe, the program director
for The Surf.
The
Stubblefield broadcast demonstrations
use a handheld smartphone called the
"Handy", and a regular land line telephone to
transmit the radio / television wireless signals
across the web. The small "Handy™" -- replaces
the 3 foot tall oak cabinet that housed the
original wireless telephone in 1902.
---- "Most of the SURF
Webcast was "filmed" without the use of video tape
or film by utilizing Philips'
new DVD RW unit, LookRadio's S90tv;
and Smart
WebWorld technology", said director Richard
Greninger.
---- Wireless
Commentator Scott Stubblefield, revealed a few
secrets about the world's first telephone broadcast
event conducted by his great-grandfather Nathan B.
Stubblefield, and published by the Washington Post
a 100 years ago. "At that time", Scott said, "the
wireless telephone could only broadcast voice and
music within a 3/4 of a mile radius. This time the
wireless telephone - the "Handy™" - was used
to talk back and forth across the full scope of the
Internet. "It's a small TV screen", continued
Scott, "but it's part of the big picture".
On hand to
discuss this event
and the musical joys of Stubblefield's
magical invention were LookRadio Celebrity Scene's
Pete Allman and veteran radio hosts Don McCulloch,
John Regan, Mark Morris, and Nick Tyler, of Radio
Stations K-Mozart and K-SUR. The Surf is a new
sound for contemporary tastes, tailored to the
sophisticated adult. "It is a unique format that
presents the best performances of the greatest
songs of all time. The Surf combines a mix of old
time favorite artists like Frank Sinatra, Tony
Bennett, Nat King Cole and Ella Fitzgerald with
many new contemporary artists.
---- "Clearly, The
Surf and K-Mozart, fill the niche of reaching out
to the big diverse community of Southern California
and make available to its listening audience the
rich heritage of the world's finest music", said
Susan Forman, of The Surf.
---- The producer of
the historical Webcasts is Television International
Magazine / VRA TelePlay Pictures. Richard Greninger
and Troy Cory were the Segment Directors and Donna
Jeffries Segment Producer. Gary Sunkin, was TVI
Camera operator. Troy also directed the DVD
webstreaming activities.
---- Webcast Segment
was video taped at THE SURF, 1500 COTNER AVENUE,
LOS ANGELES, CA 90025, USA. For more information

"Radio
Boys" & "The SMART-DAAF BOYS"™
By Troy
Cory - Stubblefield
Nathan B.
Stubblefield
(1860-1928)
NATHAN B. STUBBLEFIELD
Wireless Telephony - AM radio - 1892 - 1902
All-in-One Radio Patent, 1908
Nine Years
Before Marconi mastered sending --
Dit dahs in his back yard, and while
DeForest was studying at Yale, as early as 1885,
Nathan B. Stubblefield, the owner and inventor of
his own telephone company; and telephone system; --
developed a way to transmit the voice by Continous
Electromagnetic Waves (CW), as much as three miles
-- by means of his patented "earth battery"
transmitter.
---- By allowing
electricity to flow in one direction only, these
little coils converted the very rapidly alternating
radio-frequency wave into a series of pulses whose
variations in strength, (amplitude) --were in the
audio-frequency range to which earphones and the
human ear could respond. By 1892, he was
broadcasting voice -- and selling his receiver to
his customers and local businesses.
----It is now
assumed, that after his public demonstrations in
1892 and 1902, in Murray, Kentucky and later on the
Potomac River in Washington, D.C., the SMART-DAAF
BOYS and the rest of the world would have become
aware of his feats -- to send voice without the use
of wires.
---- The radio voice
demonstrations made by Stubblefield, were made 14
years before Alexanderson and Fessenden's, 1906
radio demonstration. Stubblefield used his
electrolytic transmitting and detector devices,
(his ground batteries) to relay -- his radio
signal, as Fessenden did with his own "exciters" --
and AT&T did with Maj. Gen. Squier's multiplex,
wired wireless system and 29 relay stations,
(Please see Figure 3.19). Stubblefield ran his
largest transmitter at approximately 250
meters.
---- At times, to
extend the distance of his broadcast, he would
secretly bury a string of his "earth" ground
electrolytic transmitter/detectors -- to relay his
signals. In short, he was modulating the ground's
electrical potential, changing it from an
electrical "sinkhole" -- to an electrical
transmitting source as an engineer would do at any
modern-day, AM transmitter antenna site.
---- Before His
1908, Wireless Telephone™ "All-in-One"
patent was issued, (that granted him the rights
for both Hi-frequency and Wired Wireless or
Guided-wave system for the use of broadcasting to
all moving vehicles, ships and trains) - he was
asked to describe the differences in his
transmitting stationary aerial; the horizontal
aerial having its opposite stretches or sides
extending along the opposite sides of the path of
travel of the vehicle; and the loop antenna coil
attached to the vehicle - from other patents.
---- He simple
explained to the patent examiners of the
impossibilities to broadcast radio waves with their
coils, because, as he put it, they did not have the
proper wire, and would have died from "high
frequency kickback". High frequency quickly heats
insulation. [Editors Note: A microwave oven
works on the same principle. In a few minutes, the
insulation inside the generator or coil grew so
hot, that the coils caught fire.]
---- What saved the
day in the granting of the patent on his 1908
wireless telegraphy system, was the transmission
coil described in his 10 year old, 1898 "earth
battery" patent. It should be also noted, that
Stubblefield's, loop "antenna" was covered within
the patent. The loop antenna was designed to be
used with radios installed in moving vehicle that
could not be grounded, such as: airplanes, ships
and automobiles.
---- Residents and
customers of Stubblefield's telephone company, in
the small town of Murray, used similar wireless
equipment in their business telephone service and
wireless burglar alarm systems -- installed by
Stubblefield since 1895.
---- The United States
Army and AT&T first used the combined system
during World War I, to guarantee articulate voice
reception; if the transmitting aerial was knocked
out, the wired wireless system would continue to
operate until the aerial could be repaired.
---- The First
Wireless Telephone Company To commercially exploit
the invention, was established in 1902 and folded
in 1927. Stubblefield became a stock holder,
officer and director of the Wireless Telephone
Company of America.
---- It is obvious his
demonstrations in Philadelphia and Washington,
D.C., created more interest in the device from the
SMART-DAAF BOYS and stock promoters, than history
books. Yet it is here that we realize that the
following SMART-DAAF BOYS were the ones that
perfected Stubblefield's basic principles of AM
radio broadcasting, as we know it today.
MAXWELL'S ETHER THEORY
DIES - November, 13, 1931. The one-hundredth
anniversary of Clerk Maxwell's birth was marked by
the scientific world "digging a grave for the
theory of a luminiferous ether," but at the same
time honoring Maxwell's mathematical
genius.
