wrathofkahn.org:Where the Truth Comes First
Wrath STOP the Presses!
Boy are we PROUD and relieved Leonard is going off the Salmon Loaf & Cabbage Soup Social Security Diet... you know greedy Leonard who is suing JP Morgan, Wachovia, the Mayor of NYC, poor little Oppenheimer, and even iBlquity, Texas, Instruments, Harris, Lucent, my old buddies it Bell Labs, when Bell Labs was Bell Labs and the 5 see no evil FCC Commissioners. We have joined forces with the service that local weather bureaus use to get their instant storm warnings... and will promote the new venture as follows: WRATH new and old broadcasters want to up your listenership call Mr. John Basham at 817 768 7556 or 817 846 3695 or if you still talk to Loveable Leonard at 954 521 8750. Since I am slightly busy with SOB lawyers... please call after 5pm and repeat your phone # slowly, and I will reply ASAP... John is headquartered in Fort Worth and you can call him at 6 pm Texas time, he is a very nice guy...like "How is the weather" Our new business OPPORTUNITY for POWER-side & Cam-D Station instant monthly money....iSAFEtm Weather When the wind BLOWS (WWWB)
Voice iSAFE Weather Music in the background "when the wind BLOWS down will come Baby, cradle and all Words "When the Wind Blows. You and your Baby will he Safe"
Bottom line, we are wedding the best weather service available with iSAFEtm Technology including Cam-DTM Transmission that gets rid of normal fading and I don't care if you believe me,,. I personally measured it. YOU GET USABLE RECEPTION WITH 80 MICROVOLTS/METER SIGNAL STRENGTH and it REDUCES Co & adjacent interference!!! No wonder CC. CBS, ABC, Via, etc. hate our guts.
What a team ....iSAFEtm Weather When the wind BLOWS (WWWB)
But how can you new or old owners of POWER-sidetm units or Cam-Dtm exciters make an honest buck, it goes like this: We are selling an iSAFEtm wwwb weather box for $106.00 and the box is Kahn quality we fix for free (fff) and it will never wake you up with false alarms, money back guarantee... what is the good of a storm alert device it wakes you up with a storm 100 miles away? That is why we can only make this deal with POWER-side and Cam-D users and we need your latest spectrum measurements... Anyway, you get for zero investment a huge 60 cents... per month per subscriber.

My name is Leonard R. Kahn, and unless you are an engineer who likes arcane math and physics, or you are a patent agent or a Federal Judge, the chances are a million to one you have never heard of me... So let me tell you why so many people who do know me, hate my guts.
BUT first let me do some bragging... I am the one (only) guy that can save Americans from another, and much more dangerous, repeat of the 9/11/01 Communications Internet OVERLOAD Disaster, Let me explain why I am in this strange situation. Legal experts will all agree that, Courts cannot provide "advisory opinions... Not even the U.S. Supreme Court can consider a case If It is not "ripe". Fortunately, my case requesting a Writ of Mandamus is ripe so that the brilliant Justice Clarence Thomas can hear my case which sounded like a simple Sherman Antitrust Boycott case In the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit In NYC, but since I was able to offer proof that the Defendants were endangering National Security and, indeed, were joining with others to support a serious RICO charge against them and an international cabal led by J.P.Morgan Chase, (who failed to do due diligence")... I am able to allege that they were more interested in a $Trillion old fashioned treasure hunt that makes sub-prime bank frauds look trivial.., and the fiasco in HDTV caused the Washington Post, no friend of mine as I am to the right of Attila the Hun, to warn the FCC: "Do not even think about suggesting a. mandatory digital update for radio."
If you need more proof that I know some engineering... I worked with the legendary Jack Goeken on his Airphone, the only system that worked on 9/11/01 and I lectured engineers and Governments in Europe and Japan, and I was the first to publish mathematical & experimental proof that the Ratio Square Diversity, now used by NASA to send robots into deep space and explore the edges of the universe, was Able to improve the S/N Ratio... As to my ability to argue the law, my dispute with the Patent Office was the source for Justice Scalias famous Illogical Gobbledygook remark poking fun at the Patent Office. AND I was so hated by the FCC Commissioners that I had my own paragraph in the FCC Act of 1934, 2007 Amendment because I opposed the FCCs digitalization of AM & FM Radio because it will obsolete, (destroy), Americans radios which they MUST HAVE to save them from another 9/l 1/01 Internet OVERLOAD Disaster,. My solution is the iSAFE TM System, which high level officials in NSA and the Defense Department and in the non-political leadership of the FCC, who are now bearing, most unfairly, the press attacks, I especially earned the ire of the Wall Street Journal that actually created the twin Monsters HDTV/Radio by printing engineering Gobbledygook such as the "Congress decided four years ago the US should switch to digital TV so some TV airwaves could be used far other things. Digital signals take just a fraction of the space of older analog TV signals." whereas Digital takes much, much, much more spectrum.
Clearly, the Congress relied on the research of the WSJ because there is no other reason for forcing Americans to spend money In these times to buy "PAY" TV & "PAY" Radio. Surely, since radio signals have lower noise than in the studios they were recorded in, it makes no sense to increase radios S/N Ratio.., and the most Inexperienced engineer can tell Hollywood "experts" how to change the aspect ratio of TV signals..
Let me add a few more big guys to JP Morgan, Wachovia, SunTrust, Oppenheimer Co, inc the largest investment house in the world, Clear Channel, Texas Instruments, NYC, ATT&T, etc. A rather impressive enemy list for a little old former adjunct (Full) Professor to earn their hatred.
The following article by Carl Marcucci was published in Radio Business Report: CAM-D inventor Kahn files suit against international banks
Kahn Communications CEO Leonard Kahn (CAM-D AM digital system inventor) has filed an amended complaint with the Southern District of NY Court (Civil Action 08-CV-11368), charging major investment banks and The City of New York and Mayor Bloomberg, personally. He names Oppenheimer & Co. specifically for falsely swearing that he was "senile" because he issued three $10,000 checks and two of them bounced. Kahn says the checks shouldn't have bounced because he has documents (attached in the suit) that prove that he had over $350K in just one account. So in the case, Kahn is also suing Wachovia, SunTrust and TD Ameritrade for allegedly "converting" his fortune (he tells RBR that just last year he claimed $18 million in assets).
Kahn says Oppenheimer actually filed a complaint with Florida's agency for protecting the elderly that he be committed. And now the NYC Department of Social Services is trying to "interview" him based on that claim. Kahn's suit also asks for emergency relief to hold NYC from extending their "chase" to his Long Island lab which has halted his work on a solution for Homeland Security the "iSAFE" system. iSAFE uses the CAM-D system to alert citizens in an emergency. A small receiver chip would be incorporated into cell phones, Blackberrys, iPhones, iPods, laptops, etc. that would warn of an emergency to citizens that might otherwise be unable to get to a TV or radio - or might not even hear what is going on because they're "isolated" by headphones, etc. The goal is to bring emergency alerts when the cell phone networks are overloaded and the Internet may be too congested to work (also from a potential cyber-attack). Kahn says CAM-D is robust enough to penetrate buildings, parking garages, etc.
Kahn's suit contains 10 document attachments that he says prove that he knows what he's talking about -- including statements from Homeland Security employees, the state of Florida, FCC attorneys, etc., that attest to his life-long engineering accomplishments/patents. Actually, the State of Florida has shown in a two-page exhibit, "No Services Recommended" and issued what reads like an apology. But even though the City of NY based its action on Oppenheimer's initial complaint to Florida, it still refuses to call off their chase of Kahn.
RBR/TVBR observation: The attachments to the suit are pretty compelling. Also, remember, Kahn filed a lawsuit in federal court in New York in 2006 alleging that iBiquity Digital, Lucent, and Clear Channel violated antitrust laws. Kahn said in the complaint that they had formed a broadcast cartel seeking to block others from buying his CAM-D system. That suit is currently being requested to be on the Supreme Court Docket.
March 20, 2009
Unbelievable Loveable & Handsome Leonard has been on the "LAM" since November of last year for supposedly passing 3 checks, 2 of which bounced... But now the state of Florida cleared me and now not only methinks is iBiquity going to lose, but four major banks are going to wish they never heard of Loveable Leonard...
Read about it in your favorite NEWSPAPERS in NYC, but not the Times, and in Washington and in Sometimes Sunny Florida... Happy New Year!!!
Very Latest 1/5/09 The BUZZ is back interfering with everybody as usual! We will keep you updated. Happy New Year.
An HONEST member of the press! "Radio Business Report/Television Business Report Voice of the Broadcasting IndustryThey're turning off HD in Washington, DC25 December, 2008 09:47:00 Well, this time its not an anomaly or a digital exciter glitch at least not that we can see. For weeks now the Washington, DC market has been turning off its HD Radio signals en masse. There is no longer any station in the market on AM broadcasting in HD. ESPN Deportes Radio/Red Zebras 730 WXTR-AM long ago shut off the signal. But now that list includes 630 WMAL (Citadel); 570 WTNT (Clear Channel); Red Zebras 980 ESPN Radio; and 1500 WFED-AM (Bonneville). The FM list now includes 106.7 WJFK-FM (CBS Radio); 102.3 WWMJ-FM (Radio One); 104.1 WPRS-FM (Radio One) and 107.7 WWWT-FM (Bonneville).
What did Radio World, Inside Radio, and the Wall Street Journal say about the iBiquity multi billion failure, nothing, nada, zippo just like they have said nothing about the Kahn vs iBiquity, Clear Channel, TI, Bell Labs law suit that appears to be won. Only Radio Business Report- the voice of broadcasting broke the silence.
SCOOPHD DEAD!!!!!! The Wrath checked and yesterday 12/29/08 only WOR, 710 on the AM dial continued jamming big time WABC, WCBS, WNYC, and WQXR turned the buzz off.Oops, WOR just went off the iBOC system at 12 noon.

Subject: A Free Market Rescue Plan
Dear Letters to the Editor, Editor:
Now that we are reaping the results of a politically induced Wall Street PANIC, I believe a free market plan can save all major firms providing credit to growth businesses, is a worlds leading source of investment credit. Obviously, the Government has not been able to cure the PANIC or even mitigate it.
Thus it is the purpose of this Letter to suggest the following free market solution that will not cost the Government or the banks and, most importantly, the Public a penny. A Real FREE market solution.
Succinctly, in just 16 words, the proposed solution would require: The bank, the seller and the buyer, to all live up to their original Mortgage Agreement.
The solution is not only simple, it is well founded in Federal Law, i.e., qui tam. See 31 U.S.C. 3730. Indeed, the requirement for the U.S. Government to pay its debts, goes back to George Washington prior to his becoming our first President, when be personally paid the payroll of the Army he commanded. At the end of the war he successfully made a demand that the Congress pay him for all of his expenses in supporting the Army. This same qui tam Concept was used after the Civil War by former slaveholders who were paid for General Shermans troops "borrowing of their horses, etc."
Now, since the FDIC FORCES all insured banks to use ASA appraisers, the Government is responsible for the many mistakes made by appraisers. Therefore, it was the Government that created the problem of all FDIC insured mortgages for both poor and wealthy homeowner mortgages to be "protected" by the U.S. government. (See www.wrathofkahn.org)
Thus, the Government and ultimately, we taxpayers, by electing the Congress that created the problem, must compensate individuals that mortgaged properties (especially in 2006-2008) and now suffered severe financial damage to their homes. Thus, the instant proposal conforms to FREE MARKET concepts.
The situation is analogous to the Government borrowing $106,900.00 from individuals, i.e., U.S. Bonds (Fixed Rate 30 year "Uncallable " Bonds) and then, after 3 years, Uncle Sam drops the rate. The only difference is that FDIC banks are loaning money to homeowners, and these homeowners would never guess they were being subject to might in this alphabet era as a Full Faith Fraud (FFF) between a quick buck alliance between the Congress, Banks, Real Estate Salesmen, & The American Society of Appraisers.
Another "professional" group that has caused Individuals caught by the sub-prime trap additional harm are rating firms that immediately change (reduce) ratings without any examination of the facts. Legalized commercial defamation libel.
Additional Exasperating FactorsAnother factor that has exasperated the problem is the huge bureaucracy that banks have become housed in golden temples wasting significant amounts of money. Such waste of money clearly impacts on the amount of money that could (should) be used to attract better and more innovative mid-management personnel.
ADDITIONAL STEPS TO HELP CURE DETROIT'S PROBLEMOnce the proposed solution cures the mortgage problem and the public is no longer poor, families are going to engage in one their favorite activities, shopping for new cars. And of course, even if Detroit cars are not as good as foreign name ears, Americans will still favor American cars and allowthem to compete.
A KEY "FREE MARKET" SOLUTION FOR DETROITHaving dealt with the big three in the 1980s during the AM Stereo competition with Motorola, Harris, Magnavox and RCA where our system had the main stations including WNBC, WOW WABC, WHN and the high fidelity classical music station WQXR, the undersigned was, of course, then, and now, aware of the huge union problem... But there is a far more serious Detroit problem.
American car manufacturers have a deal that protects them from competition. This is one of a few unfortunate bequests from Henry Ford, who would never deal with Wall Street and with automotive inventors. Ford is hailed by the public as a great inventor, (as is Bill Gates), but the only real invention he made is his interchangeability of parts, an obvious concept that any routine mass production engineer instinctively knows, and would have known when Mr. Ford offered the public: "Any color as long it was black."
In any case, the situation is that GM, Ford & Chrysler have since automobiles first became a major industry agreed to not to exclude each other for more than 2 years from the first introduction of any patentable innovative step instead of 17 years from issuance, (now normally 20 years from applications date.)
(Therefore, instead of licensing my invention at fair license of 6% of the net price and providing full assistance to GMs engineers who, in all honesty, were unskilled in the arcane field of radio modulation, so we were left with licensing foreign firms including Sony and other Japanese firms, to make good performing AM Stereo car radios.)
Obviously, such a corporate attitude, not only may violate Sherman antitrust laws and U.S. trade treaties, but it has helped act as a major reason that foreign based car firms to be far more innovative than Detroit manufacturers.
Thus, more than the super expensive deal Detroit made with its Unions, it drove American inventors to license foreign firms as we did Sony and Sansui. This violation of basic antitrust law can be readily rectified by the Congress and/or the Justice Department.

November 3, 2008 Dear Mr. Hume:
GARBAGE IN GARBAGE OUT
I have taught graduate students probability theory, a very important subject for communications theory and I cannot believe this "expert" you constantly quote. The worst student I ever ran into would never use obviously biased statistics EQUALLY WEIGHTED, along with the results of professional polltakers.
Since I know that you love America as well as I do. PLEASE tell your viewers and all the people at FOX.
Also see the attached Real Free Market Solution to the Sub-Prime Panic.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do something immediately.
Sincerely,
Leonard R. Kahn
MORE GARBAGE: "POLITICS IS LOCAL"NOT SINCE TV Do you know the FACT that could (would) have won the election?
The fact that the only FIGHTER in the McCain campaign is Sarah, the Saint, begging McCain, the best loser since Dole, ORDERING her to not use her credit cards to WIN Michigan
And what argument do you think Saintly Sarah would have used to get union members of Detroit to defy Jimmy Hoffa, Jr. ??? Who wants to have one of his goons "help" every single union member to have their Constitutional Rights violated, arguably the most basic right, the privacy of your vote. Which if Americans saw that argument on the "Boob Tube" in Florida, Virginia, Ohio and Michigan. We would have as we say in Brooklyn (and in Manhattan) we, (Sarah) would have murdered the bums.
Wachovia Tower Financial Center 1 E. Broward Boulevard Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33301 October 6, 2008 Subject "Adopt a Bank Concept"
Dear Ms. G. L. Chavez & Zanthia Hollis:
Thank you for your courtesy in so promptly taking over my account, May I now ask you to further help me by forwarding to top management the following description of the Adopt a Bank Concept.... "ABC"
In, the midst of this politically induced Wall Street PANIC, I believe the "Adopt a Bank" plan can help make Wachovia far more valuable than it was last week, before the House scuttled this vital rescue plan to halt the PANIC. This is because your firm is a target for bigger "Scavenger Banks." Therefore, I truly believe that now is the time, this week, to rescue Wachovia and allow it to lend more money to businesses and help stop the loss of JOBS.
The "ABC"plan was conceived before the House threw gas on the credit fire creating the fear that has now created PANIC. Clearly, since 1929 there has never been a worse time to sell any bank.... That is what the PANIC has done. Thus, I urge Wachovia to restore itself to its true value while it decides if it is in the best interest of its shareholders, employees and customers that depend on Wachovia. Thus, may I ask Wachovia to follow the "ABC" plan and get:
BACK TO FUNDAMENTALS... GET OUT OF REAL ESTATE AND GET BACK TO BETTER MOUSE TRAPS
As you know, in the period between 1860 and 1929 huge banking fortunes were made by Wall Street supplying risk capital to WORTHY inventors and other innovators. Even as recently as the Clinton administration, huge fortunes were made by internet "Innovators" who raised billions of dollars from gullible Wall Street Banks who invested with government support in silly "innovations" like selling perfume on the web to save taxes... And by the time President Bush came into office, he inherited a mini-depression.
Do you know what Clinton & his wife did that was even worse than their swap for the greatest Patent System in the world to get his real love... HOLLYWOOD, copyright protection... EVEN WORSE... He made a deal with NY's Gov. Cuomo,.. that even my wife, born Repetti, for over 40 wonderful years couldn't stand... The job was to HEAD FANNIE& FREDDIE and it was baby boy Cuomo who invented THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING PLAN, that with the Democrats in Congress who are working so hard to avoid being investigated... AFFORDABLE HOUSING is bankrupting innocent Americans. REMEMBER when you vote.
Back to Mouse Traps, I am talking about REAL inventions... I believe my brand new iSAFE is a candidate as it is my best invention out of my over 80 U.S. Patents and over 200 foreign patents... AND iSAFE WILL MAKE MORE MONEY THAN THE 800 BILLION DOLLAR RESCUE PLAN JUST ALMOST SCUTTLED BY THE WICKED WITCH OF FRISCO and the "see no evil!! PRESS.
Now let me brag, all little R&D guys brag... about my latest invention that is KCIs best Mouse Trap... As you know, the reason the September 11, 2001 disaster was so costly in terms of loss of lives was a failure of communications... OVERLOAD of the Internet. The iSAFETM System, very simply described, includes a very sensitive AM radio optimized to receive a Kahn Communications, Inc., (KCI), CamDTM transmitter. As can be understood a radio station does not care how many listeners tune in, whether it is a 1000 or 10 million,.. The station will never OVERLOAD.... On the other hand, the Internet being a two-way communications system every person who has his cell phone powered up doubles the occupied band width. DOUBLE... And if someone starts sending pictures the band width is millions of times wider than just voice telephone signals. That is why the Internet OVERLOADS...
But how can iSAFE technology make money that will allow it to control this crisis and stop this PANIC, at least in Florida ... We will charge 6% for use of the iSAFE trademark, trade secrets and patent application. Thus, every cell phone, iPOD, car radio, iRadio, etc. 6%.... A $200 iPOD will cost you $212 to make your family iSAFE... Huge money.. Maybe the most valuable invention, EVER, certainly my most valuable one, even mere valuable than eliminating the computer mouse and the ratio squarer diversity used in every deep space probe by NASA...
And since I have, in over thirty years of government research, never taken a penny of government money... Uncle Sam CAN NOT exercise any control over iSAFE. And, therefore, I can set the royalty at 6% which is a fair royalty that we can make a huge fortune.., every year... for an unlimited period as we will end up relying on trade secret and trademark law...not patents unless the courts suddenly get free of its anti patent bias. The only way I can be stopped is if Uncle Sam becomes Uncle Soviet and then gets three more Uncle Stevens on the Court.
Bottom line.,, Who do you think I and every single HONEST.., bank, small & large honest businessperson, and little guy all over this Greatest Country in the World, ever, who should be thankful for the Greatest President in the last hundred years, President Bush whose record cannot, in less than 30 days be surpassed, in keeping America SAFE, will vote for?
LET ME SPELL IT OUT, ONLY THE AMERICANS WHO DREAM OF MAKING MORE THAN $50,000/year, and are willing to work before 8 and after 5 get votes that count in this election.., because they demand low taxes... Guess who they will vote for... So it gets down to JOBS... When you wake up on a bread line it is too late...
Sorry Democrats, FDR never solved the depression... it took a war and two atomic bombs...

STOP The Presses, KCI announces our brand new
iSymmetra-SAFETM Audio Processor
See the announcement later this week of the latest Special Custom Designs of our new audio processor for AM and FM, TV, Cable, and the Recording Industry.
July 28, 2008 Dear friends of The Wrath:
This is the most serious, ever, issue of the Wrath, because American LIVES are at stake, indeed lives all over the world are in danger... and any attempt at humor is obviously inappropriate.
The iSAFETM System
Some months ago, I woke up from a nasty dream wherein I was having an argument with this guy who demanded I apologize for hinting in filings in a Federal Court that Lucent's Bell Labs was no longer a top notch research lab, certainly not competitive with the Bell Labs I knew thirty years ago when I was consultant to them on modulation theory.... Anyway the argument ended up with a challenge (question)... Is it impossible to solve the Internet OVERLOAD problem that caused the loss of all those human beings on September 11, 2001?
I then woke up and realized that my nightmare had raised the wrong question. Yes, it is impossible to cure the Internet problem as Bell Labs and Texas Instruments think, the math & physics prove they are wrong...
But that is the WRONG PROBLEM Bell & TI are working on. The RIGHT PROBLEM is ACOUSTICAL ISOLATION.
Let me offer an example... You are on a busy highway and the driver ahead of you is listening to HIS MUSIC, not your AM or FM station. He is listening to his own CD... How do you know? Because you can hear his 500 Watt audio amp, and you can see his car vibrating at the beat of the music!!!
Now there is an accident about a mile ahead and you see the brake lights of the cars ahead. So you BLOW YOUR HORN, but the guy listening to his music is in his ACOUSTICAL COCOON and therefore he may not even hear Gabriel blowing his horn.
That is one example of the REAL PROBLEM that endangers every single American, man, woman and especially every child (who thinks the "acoustical cocoon" is part of being human) ... and is the real reason for the Virginia Tech Massacre and the failure of all 911 service in California where you are instructed by the police NOT to use 911 and take an accident victim to the nearest hospital in your own car... No ambulance service anywhere in California.
What is iSAFE?
It is a new series of Patent Applications, Patents, and Trade Secrets that enlist AM & FM stations in all 50 states and, indeed in Puerto Rico, Guam, everywhere the Flag protects Americans, to alert Americans of dangerous life-threatening situations.
It uses all of KCI new developments, of course, Cam-DTM Boxes and a number of old developments and some brand-new HUSH-HUSH things we are so proud of...
Anyway, WRATH readers, if you own or are the technical brains of an independent AM station, you may qualify for making your station the main station in town even if you are on 1600 kHz with 1 KW and the worst DA in town.... Money back guarantee.
Why am I being so generous? Because it takes millions of dollars to do the iSAFE job AND KAHN COMMUNICATIONS AND KAHN RESEARCH IN 50 YEARS NEVER TOOK A PENNY OF RESEARCH MONEY FROM UNCLE SAM....
Why didn't we? Because if I believe in an invention, I put my money where my mouth is... and if I do not believe the invention is worth the R&D funds it is dishonest to fool the bureaucrats... That is how I got in trouble with the FCC... I told them I would not work on the iBOC project because it would never work.
Also you should know that I am not now, even though iBOC is a proven failure, asking the FCC to pick Cam-D and neither am I requesting any Federal Court to order Cam-D selected.
Financing iSAFE
So who is financing the huge R&D project?
First of ALL, You, my broadcast friends are NOT... You will be offered a ROYALTY FREE license.
Of course, Uncle Sam will not...
Then who will? Anyone who buys a cell phone, iPOD, iPhone, a car radio... or any new iTOY will pay a very reasonable royalty of a one time 6%... less than half of what the FCC declared was reasonable to iBIQUITY for a perpetual license.
But I don't have to figure in the cost of lobbyists to buy FCCers lunch...
Now what does this amount to, a $200 iPOD would cost $212 to use the iSAFE trademark. Would you pay $12 to save the life of your child?
Indeed, since warnings are localized wouldn't you pay $12 to be told to wait an hour before you go on the parkway, it is bumper to bumper right now? We can sell iSAFE, because it is really worth the money...
And why shouldn't we, including all former loyal KCI employees get some real money and also the Reading Machine for the Blind, needs big money for R&D and advertising which Ruth wanted funded to the very end... And there are all sorts of other medical problems that must be solved by use of EFFICIENT R&D, not Bell Labs and Uncle Sam's way of 20 year projects for some sterile technique
Anyway, KCI will make good use of its money...
That 6% of every single cell phone, iPOD, car radio, etc., etc., in my honest opinion will be THE LARGEST MONEY MAKING PATENT EVER FILED FOR IN THE UNITED STATES, OR ANY OTHER PATENT OFFICE...
Yet it will not require one bit of support from any government agency as we never took, or will take, a penny of government support that is required for us to do the necessary further developments to make us safe in these dangerous, life-threatening, times.
NOW IS THE TIME FOR ALL GOOD BROADCASTERS TO REALLY COME TO THE AID OF THEIR COUNTRY...
So even if you are being scared by politicians into a depression to win an election, do not worry, the day after the election they will admit they were wrong and the gas and housing problem will be solved, the same way, getting government bureaucrats out of the way of business people.
So if you just want to help iSAFE call me at 516 338 5350, and if all you can do is call your Congress Person that will help your Country too.
I, Leonard R. Kahn truly believe the above stated facts and opinions are accurate and are not meant to mislead.

FRIENDS OF WRATH 12/31/2007
HAPPY NEW YEAR
But what a challenging year... 2007 started with only a handful of true friends, including the best group of KCI veterans and a few really, really loyal true Cam-DTM engineering believers and almost no one believed that a complex legal case that was already thrown out of the NY Federal District Court could ever get the Court of Appeals in NY to spend real time on it as it was so overloaded with 9/11/01 cases and Guantanamo Bay and all that corruption on Wall Street... But then just in November the FCC lawyers and engineering "buerats" ... I always have trouble spelling that word... Really, really stuck their foot in it... And accepted my challenge and forced iBOC AM stations to go on at night...
And then the rational iBOC stations, led by ABC turned the darn thing off... Even NPR stations that are paid not only to install iBOC but are paid to promote, "propagandize" it, turned it off... This includes the mighty bunch of NYC stations... WABC, WCBS, WNYC, WADO (biggest Spanish and a former KCI PS station) and WFAN... BUT not the biggest butt in NYC, WOR thanks to its engineer, who always is so helpful.... now reminding people all over the East Coast just how bad iBOC +/- 30 kHz from 710 kHz is and how it decimates WOR's own reception, even in nearby Hartford
And then came the wonderful turn around in the Courts... Notice how quiet RW and even M Street is and how about that WSJ... That great defender of the First Amendment... Free press that somehow always protects the big lobbyists... NOT A WORD about the major Court action not a word about the engineering iBOC Disaster... So how come KCI enjoyed the slow but sure advance of Cam-D... Well just a handful of smart guys who knew over double their coverage would at least double the value of their stations. Sure enough Cam-D grew greatly in '07...
Unfortunately, probably the smartest such broadcast operator, Mr. Otto Miller died, at just 59 years old. Otto kept buying stations with highly leveraged money all over the USA... each time in a larger market... The only thing wrong with Otto was he was most intense in his negotiations... made me sound like I was gentle... And two weeks after I warned him that he was getting worse and he promised he would calm down, Otto dropped dead during a very nasty conversation with a lady who loved him... Otto was a good looker... and didn't realize ladies didn't mean to hurt him. That last conversation I had was to finalize the Cam-D deal and No he could not get "at least some discount" for a new Cam-D Box... a doggy station that would now cover Mew York City, even at night... Anyway, we expect to finally get into the Big Apple in '08... So those ad agencies will hear how great Ancient Modulation can really sound like. Cam-D isn't always reliable. A ConfessionLet me share with you a FAX but all names, etc. are deleted to protect the Innocent...
"HI Engineer Friend: Re our FAXes and phone conversations, I would like to make a proposition... But first let me state what I believed happened... First of all, I understand that the Cam-D unit gave you a dramatic improvement... and I remember the Boss (station owner) saying it doubled the value of his station... and now you are louder than the 50 kwatter, even at night and even though the big guy has a much better frequency.
But, recently you heard severe noise, so bad the PR ordered you to yank Cam-D off the air... And then the irate listeners called saying; You killed our station... Fix It immediately!!! So you ran out to the Xmtr shack and everything looked & sounded OK, but Just when you were leaving you heard a noise, not from the Monitor but from the Cam-D Box... And then you found the problem.
And you saw those two beady eyes staring at you when you tried to check the cables going into the Cam-D Box... a MOUSE.., KCI is not equipped to handle such problems... being city folks...
Accordingly, KCI Is returning your unit unopened. You must dispose of it. This is a very serious matter as the unit has a meter on it and power supplies and all stuff that any 12 year old kid ham would die for... It is what lawyers call an attractive nuisance and therefore you must get someone authorized to dispose of it... IMPORTANT.
But in any case, I will not permit my employee/friends to work on equipment if it was so exposed.. So we are sending it back... We will take the loss, but only for this one time. I assume you are insured for such problems, but you cannot return the unit so that the insurer can salvage it, as Cam-D is protected by Trade Secret Law, and as I told you in my opinion, the new Federal Law makes it a felony crime to violate Trade Secret Law and I believe your attorney will tell you Microsoft used all its political power to make it a really, really tough law.
Great News for Stations Never "Moused"
Now let me tell you the good news... For $4,050 you can buy a mouse resistant, water resistant, lightning resistant, and theft resistant transmitter building... And since we will never fix "moused" Cam-D Boxes, if you folks want to continue to, at least double your coverage spend the $4050... Maybe less if the supplier in your town overstocked these steel shipping containers (20 x 8' x 9' 6) with big doors and sealed power and audio inputs and an antenna output), the price can be lower. And then your station is safer for the transmitter and for you if you use a good lock on the building and you have a sensor that allows you to catch copper crooks mining your ground system. Is this a KCI innovation? NO. Tim Cutforth has been doing similar stunts for years and a great Lady GM... Non-Engineer asked me years ago why it wouldn't work and I fell in love with her beautiful brain and they said she was a beauty even though I never met her.
Get Ready FCC... Leonard is Coming BackEven though we cannot share the R&D Engineering credit we are getting the legal credit, as we are filing a Rule Making requiring all AM & FM and TV & Satellite stations to spend a few thousand dollars to protect the Public Interest in the Rodent With Sharp Teeth War (RWSTW) and lightning, etc. as a price for being even a part time unattended station... and also have toilet facilities because engineers should be at least taken care of as well as mice and also since all Xmtrs are more reliable when the temperature is regulated... I know this sounds like I have joined the Liberal Party, but we think it is only good business to provide a healthy and comfortable workplace at KCI. So that is my Petition for Rulemaking... And I expect Wrath Engineers and most importantly, Owners, to support it if the FCC Issues a Docket Number.. That's an insider legal joke... the biggest FCC joke, ever... since 1934. Anyway HAPPY NEW YEAR.
That is the way good old, Happy '08 Leonard sees it and, I, Leonard R. Kahn truly believe the above stated facts and opinions are accurate and are not meant to mislead.
Response to Michigan radio and TV Buzz board RE: Night operations of iBiquity digital stations in Midwest 9-22-07, by: Old AMer
I read with great interest all your many comments about the moderate to severe interference from the night time ops of various IBOCdigital AM stations, now approved, (with conditions), by the FCC.
For me it is a sad day, (and night), as I hear much ofthe same noises and severe "buzz saws" here in South Florida that youare experiencing in theNorth end Midwest part of the country,
Day or night I have been very disappointed with the iBiquity AM digital signals here locally as well. First and foremost, is of course, the severe adjacent and co-channel interference issue. However, in addition to that, the general audio quality of the two local Miamistations running the current, "popular"System well, just stinks! To say this audio is "as good as current FM," is wishful thinking at best. I maintain five FM stations here in South Florida and critique My own, and several others here in the Miami area, and I can tell you our analog FMs sound far superior to the local digital AMs, I Was even in Chicago recently and my old home favorite, WGN, sounded just as poor in digital as my local Miami stations.
Plus, when driving, even in the main coverage area through the Miami area, the signals fade out and in, often. When driving near, or under power lines and bridges, the digital AM signal fades back and forth between analog and digital so much, it seems pointless to promote that these systems will hold up under any kind of signal degradation from man-made terrain effects! The radios just switch back to analog, and you experience the same problems of man-made terrestrial interference we always have with AM radio.
I have found the solution for AM radio. I wish more of us could get on the bandwagon. I have installed two, and assisted with the installation of a third, Kahn CAM-D digital AM system in the past year, and I must say, it Works!! The CAM-D systems perform fantastic. First, theCAM-D provides a "REDUCTION" in the adjacent and co-channel interference over Current transmission system, and far below that caused by the iBiquity system! In addition, the digital AM sound is superior to the popular system, the Cam-D actually sounds like "CD quality". The, audio is clean, with no notable distortions and hash associated with theother brand of system. In addition, the Cam-D system improves the overall signal coverage of the analog signal somuch, (through a superior Modulation concept), that it is an instant benefit to the stations operating with it "today", not five years from now when, "maybe", there will be enough digital radios on the road for stations to benefit from it financially. In addition, the Cam-D system does not have the fade problems in moderate signal areas that I experience with the other IBOC system, (due, I believe, to the exceptionally good modulation scheme).
In short, the Kahn Cam-D digital AM transmission system is far Superior to what is being "pushed on us" by big Money, and politics to boot!!
If you get a chance to listen to a station broadcasting with the CAM-D system, give a serious critique; I believe you will agree, it is far superior to what is currently being shoved into our ears. I also suggest you check out Kahn's web site for the latest info: www.wrathofkahn.org.
Wrath 9/14/07 Digital Audio Broadcasting
To reach your Congressman or Senator in Washington, call 202-224-3121.
As you may have guessed your friend Leonard is conservative not only in engineering but also in politics. So forgive me I am just providing FAX numbers for the leading Congressmen and Senators that have special FCC oversight powers. They are on the House Energy and Commerce Committee Subcommittee on Telecommunications and the Senate FCC Committee and Subcommittee of the Senate Commerce Committee.
I am not familiar enough with the House members on this committee so I suggest that you FAX the ranking member Fred Upton (202-225-4986), whereas on the Senate, like you guys, the names are much more familiar and I can select real friends of broadcasters who are:
Your FAX can be even a couple of paragraphs, but be specific on what you are hearing now day or night from the iBOC jamming. And you should also say who you are, owner, general manager, or engineer, etc., and how many years that you have been in the industry.
Your comments are really, really important. The future of radio is at stake as well as the security of our great country.
And please, it may be very useful if you wish, FAX me a copy at 212-983-6432.
Remember we are counting down to September 14th, that is the decision day (D-Day) for iBOC. iBOC is iDEAD by the 16th. The Wrath will provide phone and fax info to Congressional oversight of FCC officials at that time. You will be able to participate in saving your profession and the public.
THE FCC'S LATEST "FINAL" IS A JOKE ON iBOC
In a huge document printed in the Federal Register now available on the Wrath in easy to read print (go to the latest "Previous Week" button) the long expected final, final, really, really no kidding final Rules in which the FCC played a little joke on the Trillion Dollar iBOC team, including Clear Channel, Lucent etc. who are ready to trade the safety of over-the-air radio for a piece of that Trillion Dollar pie in the sky scheme.
Enuf talk Leonard, tell us the joke... OK, OK
On Page 45671 the FCC states that it:
"Recognizes that further negotiations between the United States and the international community are taking place to resolve possible disputes about the implementation and operation of DAB [Digital Audio Broadcasting... AM & FM radio] by domestic radio stations.."
In other words, as the WRATH reported last week, the Mexican Government sent the State Department a very, very tough letter warning us that even our border stations were interfering with Mexican stations and stop it... It sounded like troops were marching... And since I haven't bragged yet but a long time ago I spent about a month in Geneva as the State Department's (one and only) radio expert.. they didn't want more than one because even then the USA was worried we might look like bullies, so unlike France who had like ten engineers, I had to work all the committees whether or not I knew what I talking about... Anyway, I at least convinced the Germans not to desert AM radio in favor of all FM... Leonard that is enuf. Last word the FCC has about as much chance of convincing the ITU to accept additional interference from iBOC jammers as I have of winning the Olympic pole vaulting gold medal.
Anyway, let us get to the PUNCH LINE of the FCC's little joke on my iBOC friends.
On Page 456871 after telling iBiquity some really, really bad news about Patents that they may not fully understand.. We finally get to the Joke re international treaties:
The FCC opines that: "While we are optimistic that we will be able to resolve any outstanding issues with Canada and Mexico or other countries, these issues remain subject to ongoing negotiations. Therefore, until the negations are completed, we advise the radio industry that the following condition will be applied to stations operating with IBOC DAB:
Operation with facilities specified herein is subject to modification, suspension or termination without the right to hearing...."
Since I want to be certain RW and the Trillion Dollar international cartel including Clear Channel and Texas Instruments and Lucent gets: the JOKE, let me repeat:
Therefore, until the negations are completed, we advise the radio industry that the following condition will be applied to stations operating with IBOC DAB:
Operation with facilities specified herein is subject to modification, suspension or termination without the right to hearing...."
So you broadcasters, who maybe spent a million bucks for IBOC gear, this isn't all that funny, especially when you decide to try to prove your station doesn't increase interference. Sorry, but you really have to be careful when someone sells you a device that has never worked at night, and you don't even take the time to tune into stations that real engineers tell you are jamming their neighbors.
NOW for a word from the sponsor:
For about $65,000 you can get (If you are quick enuf), one of our next production run of six (6) Cam-DTM Boxes, and we guarantee that it will work with your old reliable transmitter, and your analog or digital processor, STL, antenna tuner and antenna. the only thing it will not work with is a lightning burned out transmitter And we guarantee you will be the best sounding and loudest station when you tune into your station with a normal car radio. And you will at least Double your day and night coverage. And we affirm that you will meet and better all treaty and ITU and FCC specifications.
And now, yet another old friend and super engineer, who sent us the following statement re: The Minneapolis-St Paul new Cam-D market.
CAM-D SERVES TWIN CITIES
KOOI, Watertown, Minnesota could never effectively reach the twin Cities of Minneapolis-St. Paul. It has a pattern pointing straight north bypassing the cities 40 miles to its East. The 5000-watt outlet at 1600, formerly KWOM, was purchased by previous owners with the expectation they could serve the Cities. They would ask this engineer if the station could cover and, buy anyway, despite my advice.
KOOI is now under new ownership, yet is now capable of serving the Hmong community in the twin cities. It was time to think outside the box and KAHN CAM-D was installed July 4, 2007. Our signal is six times louder, the audio quality is excellent, and I estimate coverage is three times greater outsidethe main lobe of our three-tower pattern.
The feature I liked the best is the ability to choose the upper or lower sideband. We choose the upper to further remove ourselves from 1590 in Hudson, WI. This does not affect the ability of a receiver to center tune. All of these advantages are realized without expensive modifications or FCC approval.
I recommend KAHN CAM-D to all stations big and small, but particularly to those with complex patterns on close adjacencies. I want to thank Leonard Kahn and Tim Cutforth of Vir James for their technical wisdom during this installation.
Reese Robert Hull, Consultant
The above opinion by Mr. Hull was submitted on August 9, 2007 for publication in the Wrath.
Updated 8/9/2007 One of the best AM and FM Directors of Engineering in the USA has had an exchange of emails that he shared with me. Knowing the management of some of the stations that our friend serves as DE may not want other stations in their market to know the secret of their success, the Cam-DTM System, we decided to keep the venue of this WRATH "under seal," at least for a short period. (This reminds me of a station in Detroit at least a decade ago, who bought a single POWER-SideTM unit and decided that he wanted us to give him a market exclusive and when we refused, he misinformed stations by telling other stations the reason his coverage was so much better was that he was using a new audio processor...But an Engineer with a spectrum analyzer in Windsor, who was also using POWER-Side, finally got him to stop telling his "story.")
ANYWAY, This is what happened in a very significant market that will be kept hush, hush until our friend and the WRATH gets full approval of all of the stations involved: "Thank you for your proposal, however, our stations have chosen to use the Kahn CAM-D digital AM transmission system, as opposed to the IBOC system. The Kahn system has greatly improved our coverage, and the CAM-D digital signal has proven to be superior to the IBOC.
Although we consider the "deleted" brand of transmitters to be the finest in the industry, the IBOC AM digital system has proven itself to be a very poor substitute for the Kahn CAM-D, causing much interference to other stations, plus the audio quality of the IBOC is very poor, as compared to the Kahn system. We have no plans to use the IBOC system for any of our stations at this time. But thank you again for your proposal. Regards,"
Updated 8/4/2007 Mexico and the NRSC member from the U.S. Bureau of Standards just pulled iBOCs plug ending their scheme for monopolizing AM & FM Radio
Who says so??? See FCC official website 99-325
As you know the WRATH has been telling you for years that the iBOC system would never be approved BUT all the trade publications said we were Wrong... But we told you that the Telecommunications Act of 1934 requires that any firm proposing new technology must: a) Not Increase Interference to other licensed stations and b) Not violate the antitrust laws.
Clearly, anyone with a radio in Washington can hear all of the iBOC stations (still on the air) jamming their co and adjacent channel neighbors. As to b) antitrust, any senior employee of Clear Channel knows that he is required to boycott all Kahn products not only Cam-DTM Exciters that at least double your coverage and make you sound like FM on all radios, but even our Ugly SymmetrapeakTM audio unit that makes your FM station 3 db louder. Anything with the Kahn name or it must be taken, off the air because we dared compete with the iBOC system and refused to join their scheme to obsolete every AM & FM radio in the USA, all BILLION radios, so as to control a $ TRILLION industry.
Anyway, Mexico proves that IBOC violates the interferencerules, but they raise a far more compelling issue... The US Constitution requires all branches of our government, the Administration, the Congress and the Judiciary to respect and not violate out treaties... So Mexico's filing makes it certain not even the Congress can rescue iBOC... And there is more... The Bureau of Standards scientist, Dr. Jonathan E. Hardis, either is a trained lawyer of he had a real expert on patents and trade secrets write the FCC document As some of you guys know I am a US Patent Agent and one of my patent briefs, In re Leonard R. Kahn was used by the Supreme Court to rewrite important Patent LawForgive me for bragging, but it is genetic... So Dr. Hardis is right on when be concludes that, not only has iBOCs chief proponent lost, he can never comeback to the FCC with a new DAB proposal... First Mexico almost declares WAR and then Dr. Hardis decapitates them with his legal scalpel.
So why am I telling you all, this... Because KCI is going to make a run of six (6) Cam-DTM Boxes and they will be delivered on a first come first basis... Need more info,call me at 212.983.6765 and leave word when I can reach you at night when I return calls.

NEWSFLASH FROM MEXICO
TECHNICAL SECRETARY OF THE PLENUM CFT/D01/STP 1956 /07 Mexico, D.F., April 4, 2007
Chairman Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street SW Washington, D.C. 20554
We refer to the notice published on the website of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC as abbreviated in English) dated March 22 of the current year, setting forth the rules adopted by the Commission governing digital radio broadcasting. Specifically, we wish to let you know of the [Mexican] Federal Telecommunications Commissions concern, in light of the aforementioned notice, that this matter is among those that properly fall within the purview of the U.S.-Mexico High-Level Consultative Commission on Telecommunications (CCAN), on which both we and the FCC, of which you are chairman, are represented, among other parties.
In this light, we call your attention to the various meetings of the CCAN Working Group including representatives of our two agencies, which have been held to deal with Radio Broadcasting issues, among others, in the course of which the FCC was reminded that U.S. radio stations that operate using the IBOC system must comply with the provisions of the Convention between the government of the United States of Mexico and the government of/he United States of America regarding AM Radio Broadcasting in the Hectometric Wave Band, signed in Mexico City on August 28, 1986, as well as with the provisions of the Agreement between the Government of the United States of Mexico and the Government of the United States of America regarding FM Radio broadcasting in the 88 to 108 MHz Wave Band, signed on August 11, 1992.
Accordingly, until technical criteria shall have been established by agreement between our two agencies to permit optimal and efficient development of analog and digital radio broadcasting along our common border, and in order to eliminate prejudicial interference with Mexican broadcasting stations caused by the temporary operation of U.S. radio stations using the hybrid digital system, we ask you to reconsider your decisions to authorize AM radio stations to operate at night and permit FM stations to operate using the extended hybrid digital system.

ARE CELL PHONES KILLING AM & FM RADIO?
Have you read the latest SPIN to convince you not to worry about the HUGE negative impact of Cell Phones on the value of your AM & FM station licenses? They say 96% of college educated 35-54 people listen to radio at least once a week. Let the WRATH parse that feely good, good, not to worry GORBLEYgoodee about the impact of the Internet...I dont know what going to college has to do with radio, but 96% of anything is sure Impressive... But that once a week thing...Does that mean if you happen to be waiting at a red light and some 50% deaf and 100% dumb kid is pumping out a 1/2 kw to vibrate his hubcaps you are credited with a listener?WRATH recommends we get real and look at meaningful numbers like a listener is listening at least 1 hour per day to one of the 5 radios the average American has access to in his home, car and portable. And if we are interested in the future do preteenagers know what a real radio looks like... three year olds sure know what a cell phone looks like... Thats the thing growing out the side of mommies head.
THE WRATH GETS CREDIT FOR ACHANGE
The WRATH was proud that some publications indicated we might be right that iBOC is dead by treaty... Castro and our dear friends in Russia, Germany, the Saudis, etc. But even though you dont have to kill IBOC twice, the other stake through its heart is that it violates the Communications Act of 1934 by INCREASING INTERFERENCE, the very reason for the FCCs existence and to guard against broadcasting monopolization... To put it another way if the FCC decided to ignore the Constitution re treaties, they still are in violation of the Law.
NOW SOME GOOD NEWS AND SOME BAD NEWS RE PRICINGGood News first: As you may know if you decided to buy Cam-DTM Boxes it meant sending a check for the entire price with order... That was a mistake because it was a severe reaction to a handful of deadbeats and too hard on stations that never heard of how Cam-D dramatically increases coverage typically doubles your audience, reduces power line buzz and fading and makes you louder than anyone in town... And therefore a station had to wait for its new budget to order, so we are now offering a new version of our 1/3 down to enter your order. Now the bad news... KCI has to make some money therefore our price is going up... the way KCI prices always go... We have to pay for the best employees we can find and for the best quality reliable parts SO.... New Cam-D Price $65,600
I, Leonard R. Kahn truly believe the above stated facts and opinions are accurate and are not meant to mislead... The real guarantee we offer is to aggressivly, but honestly, clean up the mess.
