Fact or Fiction
Q. FM radio stations are heard more clearly in overcast
weather?
A. The truth is… FM signals can punch through trees,
shrubs and large mahus, (jus’ no maukas); rain or shine
weather no mattah. But, if your equipment gets wet, that’s a
different story.
Do you have a question you’d like addressed in the next news letter
(publish date 11/27/05?) If so, email it to morgan@kapu.org, or call the
station and the On Air DJ or answering machine will take it down for you.
Ask us anything? What is the weight of an unladen swallow anyway?
| Meet KAPU’s Moa Kane Bob Moa Kane Bob is excited to be a part of KAPU Radio. He hosted a jazz show on KKUP in Cupertino about 20 years ago, and always hoped to return to programming. Last summer, he read a newspaper article about KAPU, and contacted Jeff and Morgan Kost about his interest in doing a show on their station. After badgering them intensely, the Kost’s reluctantly agreed to allow him on the air. They keep him on a very short leash, with a maximum amount of supervision, and under constant threats of termination. It is this kind of structure that keeps Moa Kane Bob out of trouble. Despite his traditional name, Moa Kane Bob is not Hawaiian. However, his appreciation of island culture began during childhood, when he received a small statue of King Kamehameha I as a gift. A couple years later, tragedy struck when Moa Kane Bob chipped off the great King’s nose while using him to hammer a nail into a wall. Moa Kane Bob considers Steve McGarret from Hawaii Five-O as one of the coolest people of all time. Moa Kane Bob’s taste in food is almost as broad as his musical tastes. Among other styles, he enjoys jazz, bluegrass, folk/folk-rock, the Grateful Dead, British progressive rock, ethnic (Afro-Latin, Brazilian, Klezmer, Flamenco, Mexican, Greek, etc.), and of course, Hawaiian music. Moa Kane Bob’s grandmother prayed each night that her daughter would grow up to be a professional accordion player. Unfortunately, those prayers went largely unanswered. Although she did learn to play the accordion, she didn’t become professional. Through her accordion lessons, she learned many military songs which she sang as lullabies to young Moa Kane Bob. His mother prayed every night that he would make something special of himself. And, those prayers had largely gone unanswered until Moa Kane Bob landed his program on KAPU Radio. Moa Kane Bob’s show is called A Pupu (not poo poo) Platter. It airs the first Wednesday of the month from 12:00-1:30 p.m. The program features vocal music in the Hawaiian language. |
| The 2005 Na Hoku Hano Hano Awards The sucking sound started when Alan called us out by name as we were checking in. “Jeff & Morgan Kost, you have the radio station right? I’m Alan.” He held out his hand, and I shook it warmly. “Yes, we are. Nice to meet you Alan.” There are two Alans’ on the HARA (Hawaiian Academy of Recording Arts) Board of Directors. Was this Alan Yamamoto or Alan Yoshioka? We didn’t know. It was obvious, though, we’d been talked about. Hmmm. Neato. Cool. Right-On! We got our table number, which from the diagram we were shown, was three rows back from the stage and dead center (mahalo Bonnie). We’ve never had seats like this in seven years of attendance, we were smiling inside (c’mon be cool, we’re cool.) After getting checked in Jeff and I found a nice spot along the wall, next to a potted plant, in the pre-show area. We nursed our cocktails and watched the folks arrive. “Hey! Isn’t that Nedward Kaapana?” Jeff asked me. I shrugged my shoulders. It sure looked like Ledward’s brother, but I couldn’ t be sure. Just I few years back we mistook John Keawe for George Helm (dumb Haoles.) “Maybe, go introduce yourself,” I said. Jeff didn’t budge. “Oh my! Jeff! That’s Eddie Kamae!” This, we were sure of. He walked in looking incredibly dapper in a powder blue dress shirt and his unmistakable smile. “I have to go introduce myself” I told Jeff. I waited about twenty feet behind Mr. Kamae while he purchased his drink tickets and got a glass of red wine. “Mr. Kamae, excuse me. My name is Morgan Kost. I really enjoyed the biography that Jim Houston wrote about you. In fact, once I started the book I couldn’t put it down. I help operate a completely Hawaiian radio station in Watsonville, California. I think in October you’ll be in our area, and you’ll stop by?” “Yes, I think I will be in the area then. Thank you, nice to meet you” Eddie answered. Then I walked back to Jeff. Oh boy, I’m such a clod. I talk way too fast. I know which fork to use, but cold call introductions make my cheeks hot. Wait, that sounds bad. I mean, it makes me nervous to talk to famous folks. I behave awkwardly, to say the least. For about an hour we watched people we recognized enter the reception area: Auntie Genoa Keawe, Charles Ka’upu, Kaumakaiwa Kanaka’ole, Dennis & Cheryl Kamakahi, and we talked to each other. We were having fun, and always do together, plus our kids were in our motel room with our niece, who, lucky for us, lives in Mililani. I should explain the “sucking sound”. You know the sound a snail makes when it is frightened and begins to retract into its shell? That’s how Jeff and I operate. Even though we had met Brittni Paiva in the lobby the day before, and realized how shy she was, and how shy most folks are…There we were armed with a quality, portable recorder (with the idea of getting some of the artists we saw at the Hokus to record KAPU-lp station identification announcements) and with invitations to perform at our 2006 station fund raiser, we were retracting into our shells. Where was Bill anyway? He knows everyone. The doors opened. We went into the ballroom and found our table. We were seated with the executive producer of the K5 Home Team, John Fink , his wife and son; an Auntie who had previously received a lifetime achievement award and her niece (only got their first names, kala mai), and a kumu hula and his partner. We could practically touch Robert and Roland Cazimero, Dennis &Cheryl Kamakahi, Milton and Ann Lau, Eddie and Myrna Kamae, David Kamakahi…We were right there, unbelievable. I did pass out 2006 invitations to Maunalua, The Cazimeros, David Kamakahi, Owana Salazar and Brittni Paiva. Highlights of the awards show were live performances by Maunalua, Ale’a, Na Palapalai and the show stealers: Brittni Paiva and Bill Tapia. The Makaha Sons who presented the award for Album of the Year were as silly as ever, promoting their upcoming event at The Shell, in lieu of the award. They did present the Group of the Year Award to Na Palapalai for their CD entitled Ke Ala Beauty. Other notable awards went to Owana Salazar for Jazz Album of the year, Brittni Paiva for Most Promising Artist of the Year, Eddie Kamae for Anthology Album of the Year and Album of the Year. Robert Cazimero received an award for Song of the Year with Ala Anuhea. Female Vocalist of the Year went to Raitea Helm and Male Vocalist went to the golden voice of the late Dennis Pavao. David Kamakahi received a Hoku for Contemporary Album of the Year. This award was received by David with special thanks to his father Dennis, and mentor Eddie Kamae. The Na Hoku Hanohano awards is an annual event conceived and organized in 1978 by Krash Kealoha, along with Jacqueline Rossetti, Kimo Kahoano, and Ronnie Hope as a promotion for Radio KCCN-AM. Awards were then determined by public poll. The Hokus has evolved into an industry event where technicians, promoters, distributors, artists, album designers and annotators receive awards for excellence in their fields. 2005 marked the first year that Hawaiian music was recognized by the Grammys. If you would like to become “a friend” of the Hawaiian Academy of Recording Arts, visit their website (click on the link below.) The caper for our evening actually came the next morning while we were sitting in bed drinking coffee, reading through our Hoku programs and watching cartoons (our kids are 5 and 3, yeah?) There, on the third page of the program, “Jeff! With special Aloha to: Jeff and Morgan Kost,” I exclaimed. Look out! The snails are out of their shells!

| MEET ONE OF OUR NEW VOLUNTEERS I am Norma Crouch and do office work around the station. I discovered Hawaiian mele (music) on my first trip to Hawaii. It began a deep, lasting appreciation and love for island mele. Visiting four islands, in 1975, after winning “Checker of the Year”, (for a large grocery chain) the prize was a two- week expense paid trip to Hawaii. After enjoying many return visits, I still fly there annually, adding to my collection of Hawaiian CD’s and to see numerous favorite entertainers. Get ready for a tour of Hawaii’s best entertainment venues and my list of the islands best recording artists. Each trip now includes going to the Concerts on the Beach, at Duke’s Waikiki, to hear Kapena every Saturday at 4PM and Henry Kapono Sundays at 4PM. Love those guys and their music. Trips are always scheduled during “Aloha Festivals” to see and hear the local entertainers performing throughout the evening during the Waikiki Ho’olaule’a. (Street party, where 11-14 stages are set up on Kalakaua Ave) Each stage rotates 4-5 different performers and tens of thousands of people are having lots of fun, including great food, crafts, hula halaus and music. It is at this event I was blessed to see and hear Brother IZ several times before his death, also Sistah Robi, Fiji and many more popular local groups. Besides all this fun, there are other activities including the falsetto contest, floral parade and special Aloha Festivals entertainment at several shopping centers throughout the week. Another favorite entertainer, the late Moe Keale, was a regular, poolside at the Sheraton Waikiki. If you’d ever walked along the ocean side of Waikiki and heard irresistible music drifting out, behind the Sheraton and stopped to listen, it was Moe. Upon noticing you enjoying the music, he’d turn around, smile and with that ever present Aloha spirit, kindly invite you inside. If you did, you were in for a real treat. You can hear Moe daily on KAPU, along with many other great island legends. More groups on my “don’t miss” list include Jerry Santos with Olomana performing Fridays/Saturdays at the Rainbow Lounge in the Rainbow Tower of the Hilton Hawaiian Village. Now on down to the other end of Waikiki, at the Marriott, you hear all the best slack key guitar players, including the Pahinui Brothers, Ledward Ka’apana and Auntie Genoa Keawe. Can’t miss checking out Chai’s Island Bistro at the Aloha Tower Marketplace where you find the Brothers Cazimero performing, maybe Melveen Leed and my all time favorite, Jerry Santos, is there weekly, also. Waikiki may be crowded and touristy, but it’s where you find the best and most entertainers. Pick up the free newspapers, Honolulu Weekly/Waikiki Weekly for time and location of every live act during the current week. If you can’t get to Hawaii, listen to all these great performers on KAPU-lp. Oahu stations don’t come close to providing the great mix, quality and quantity, of mele, we have at KAPU. Morgan and Jeff tell me that a station called “The Breeze” is doing a great job, so I plan to check it out while there in September. KAPU is a unique gift we must cherish and nourish so it grows and prospers. I am amazed that it is the ONLY station broadcasting Hawaiian music twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. AWESOME! When the membership drive began, along with a donation, I indicated I would like to volunteer, and have been on board, in the office every Thursday afternoon. The message from Morgan (my boss) said something like get your article written for the newsletter and no huhu (don't know exactly what that means, but here it is). |
The Tech Sect
I CAN’T HEAR KAPU-lp
KAPU-lp, 104.7 FM, "Sacred Sounds of the Islands",
broadcasts to the Monterey Bay Area. Our low power (LP)
FM signal is regulated by the FCC and limits the amount of
wattage we can use to broadcast our signal. Hence, some
communities (Watsonville & South) receive a stronger signal
than do communities to the North of our Watsonville
transmitter (located high atop Mount waiwai).
Alas, there is something you can do to hear KAPU!
Please study the attached links on FM antennas and their
purchase. Educate yourself on the subject. You can help
yourself to receive better FM radio reception. If you aren’t
the “type” to do-it-yourself, please call us at the station: 831-
768-7002 or send an e-mail to jeff@kapu.org, and we’ll try to
set you up with a qualified installer. You will need to
purchase the antennae play the installation charge will be
about $100 (payable to the installer, not KAPU).
Too expensive? Of the FM antennas we can find for sale, the
“Cadillac” model is less than $90 and the “Yugo” model was
only $25! (Note: performance is synonymous with price,
yeah?). When you consider what you pay for cable TV,
cellular and static phone services, Internet access…This one
time antennae purchase and installation price (if you need
help), is less than $.04/day (given the life expectancy of 15
years for the $90 model)…(This is not a paid advertisement. Merely

WRITE A LETTER TO THE FCC
KAPU-lp, the LP does not mean lots ‘o poi. It does mean low
power (FM). The Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) broadcast license held by Ohana de Watsonville,
which KAPU-lp 104.7 FM operates under, was issued by the
FCC low power FM licensing
Program. This program accepted applications for broadcast,
during a 10 day period during June of 2000.
The low power licenses for radio broadcast do not exceed
100 watts of power. However, the wattage a low power station
was approved for is/was in direct correlation to the antennae
elevation and average terrain. In the case of KAPU-lp 104.7,
we are allowed to broadcast with 52 watts.
One way KAPU-lp could be allowed to operate with more
wattage, would be if the FCC received regular requests from
folks wishing to receive/hear KAPU-lp’s signal. You can help
by writing to the FCC and letting them know you like the
programming choice offered by Ohana de Watsonville, but
you aren’t able to receive a strong signal from your listening
area of ______________. Your letters can be e-mailed to
the FCC Chairman at KJMWEB@FCC.GOV: or via USPS to
the FCC at: 445 12th Street SW, Washington DC, 20554.
With just a few more watts (we guess 48 more, allowing us to
broadcast with 100 watts total); we could clearly reach Santa
Cruz and also send a stronger signal to the areas of the
Monterey Bay Area we already reach. Ho’olu/Please, write
your (short) (or long – if you like?) letter as soon as you can.
Continue to send a message to the FCC on a regular basis.
Let ‘em know you want to: HEAR KAPU-lp 104.7 FM, music
from Hawaii nei and community messages from the Monterey
Bay.
