FCC has a finder
United Press International
DALLAS — The Federal Com
munications Commission has been
slow to respond to citizen com
plaints about CB radios, but interest
in the crowded band is increasing.
And the commission has new
equipment to find violators.
A unique direction-finding device
was developed in Dallas and is now
in use nationwide. It works like the
high frequency Omni signal seeker
aboard aircraft and fits easily into an
unmarked car.
It is no longer necessary to trian
gulate or plot coordinates to find a
transmitter, and the FCC’s chase
cars don’t attract much attention.
The special direction-finding an
tenna is concealed in the rear win
dow.
Engineers just dial a mobile re
ceiver and watch needles that point
toward the offending station.
Illegal CB operators have only
one thing in their favor — there are
so many of them. But certain
violations attract attention faster
than others.
“With 90,000 CB operators in
Dallas and Fort Worth, there s no
way to just spend your time trying
to monitor Citizens Band,” said Carl
Pyron, FCC engineer in charge of
the Dallas district office.
“What we do is operate on a re
sponse situation where we ll find
one guy. The way it works is we get
complaint after complaint on the
same guy, week after week, so we ll
try to see what he’s up to. On the
way over there, of course, if there’s
something on the air we can stop
and see what’s happening.”

USTIN—A ticket line that began
ha handful of ambitious students
iday afternoon blossomed Tues-
to more than 1,200 persons
iting to buy some of the 3,000
lilable student tickets to the Nov.
Southwest Conference show-
n between top-ranked Texas
Texas A&M.
he tickets went on sale at 9 a.m.
lay, and each person in line was
ited to two.
Is a football ticket worth missing
days of classes?” asked Jimmy
ite, one of those waiting in the
!. “Against Texas A&M it is. I’ve
to say that I can’t stand Texas
M.”
[Students with sleeping bags,
ioks and beer coolers lined the
ket window, occupying their time
dying, playing midnight football
ties on the Memorial Stadium
f, or partying.
Inly about 20 students were in
the line Sunday night, but when
word spread through the campus
Monday that the line had already
formed, hundreds more joined.
Most of those waiting Monday night
went to sleep early.
“I’m really disappointed with
these people, ” said one student who
had camped out to get tickets to the
Oklahoma game the three previous
years. “It was like one mass study
hall in there. I was getting nauseous
just looking at them.
Some of the students used can
dles, kerosene lamps and street
lights to study while waiting in the
line. Others played music on porta
ble radios. One brought a television
set Monday night to watch the Dal
las Cowboys football game.
A university police officer as
signed to control the crowd said the
students were cooperative.
“Nobody was injured, nobody
was arrested and nobody got out of
hand, ” the officer said of the second
night on the waiting line. “The most
serious disturbances I had were to
turn down radios and stop people
snoring.
Freshman Earl Brown owns the
distinction of being the first in line,
settling into his position at 6:30 p.m.
Sunday.
“It’s been kind of fun,” Brown
said.
