THIS DRAWING DEPICTS CLOSED CIRCUIT television hookup in a typical base
housing quarters.
A story in the Oct. 15 edition of
"White Falcon" detailed plans for the
new closed circuit television system
which is expected to be in operation on-
board the NATO Base by Thanksgiving Day.
The article also stated that special
hookup kits—available at the Navy Ex-
1 change—will be necessary to receive
closed circuit television. These kits
must be purchased by individuals who
wish to receive TV and FM programming.
The special hookup kits are on sale
at the Navy Exchange in the Personalized
Services Center, Main store and Stereo
Shop.
There are two standard kits consist-
ing of either six or 12 feet of cable, a
connector at each end of the cable and a
transformer. The six-foot kit will cost
$4.25 and the 12-foot kit will cost
$5.10.
With the kit, all you have to do is
connect one end of the cable by screwing
it into the wall jack—previously in-
stalled by Public Works—and the other
end to the transformer. There are two
small wires coming from one end of the
transformer which should be hooked to
the VHF antenna connection on the back
of the television receiver.
If persons use the kit, they can
hookup only one television set or one FM
stereo receiver and position the set
close to the wall jack.
If anyone desires to hookup an ad-
ditional television set or the stereo
FM receiver, they may purchase special
hookups from the Navy Exchange TV Repair
Store. Persons will have to buy cable,
connector ends, a transformer and a
special splitter. The following is the
cost of the individual components:
**Cable: 11 cents a foot
**Connector Ends: 20 cents each
**Transformer: $1.10
**Splitter: $3.90
**Barrel Splice: 45 cents
**Coiled Cable Kit: $8.50
**Kit with Splitter: $7.00
The listed components can be bought
only in the TV Repair Store. Salesper-
sons at the store will fit the connector
ends to the cable with a special crimp-
ine tool, if customers desire. Anyone
wanting special hookups should go to the
TV Repair Shop and tell the salesperson
the length of cable desired. All the
components needed for the special hookup
will be sold to the customer.
The cable discussed here is special
coaxial cable approximately one-quarter
inch in diameter. It may be purchased
from the exchange or through other elec-
tronics sales outlets. More than 2,000
cable hookup kits will be available for
NATO Base personnel.
The cable should not be placed under
heavy furniture or in heavy foot traffic
areas.
The closed circuit television system
for the NATO Base is expected to be in
operation by Nov. 25. At that time,
AFRTS will broadcast one television
station and one FM radio station through
the cable system. AM radio will con-
tinue to be broadcast on its present
frequency.
The new system will not produce any
significant change in current radio or
television programming.
Although the cable system is being
partially tested at this time with some
locations already on the line, the sys-
tem will not be fully operational until
the end of November. Consequently, some
units may already be receiving their
television reception via the cable while
the majority of others receive their
pictures across the airwaves. Persons
are advised not to hookup their sets to
the cable until the system is fully
operational.

CO asks all hands to ‘tell it
like it is’ during NHRM survey
The Navy Human Resources Management
Survey will begin at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday
at the Midnight Sun Club and will run
for a three-day period.
All military personnel and civilians
who supervise military personnel will be
scheduled to take the survey by their
departments.
The survey, which takes approximately
one hour to complete, asks questions,
covering many aspects of Navy life, and
is designed to identify those issues
which cause most concern to personnel of
the Naval Station.
Captain Jack T. Weir, Commander Naval
Forces Iceland/Commanding Officer, Naval
Station Keflavik, is dedicated to im-
proving command excellence and increas-
ing overall satisfaction with Navy life
on the Naval Station, Lieutenant T. J.
Turner, Human Resources Development of-
ficer, points out.
Furthermore, according to Lt. Turner,
Capt. Weir is asking "all hands" to
participate in this survey and "tell it
like it is", drawing an accurate pic-
ture of the living and working condi-
tions aboafd the NATO Base.
Lt. Turner says that the survey will
provide command leaders with hard
data on the views and opinions of base
personnel.
Explaining that the survey is a
management effort to open lines of com-
munication up and down the chain of com-
mand, Lt. Turner and his assistant,
Chief Machinist's Mate D. A. Coke, ap-
peared on AFTV yesterday evening.
Survey results will be fed back by
department and work group to all parti-
cipants and will show supervisors at all
levels • how personnel feel about their
superiors, their peers, their job, their
duty station and the Navy in general.
The survey, states Lt. Turner, will
measure such specific areas as leader-
ship, motivation and morale, equal op-
portunity, training and utilization of
people, discipline, communications, con-
cern for people, drug and alchohol abuse
and interaction with peoples of other
countries.
Since results will be used to indi-
cate areas to receive greatest emphasis
for improvement in the future, and will
provide a data base for revising and up-
dating the command action plan, it is
important that all personnel answer each
question thoughtfully and frankly, ac-
cording to Lt. Turner.
The completed questionnaires will be
processed by automated equipment in Nor-
folk, Va. The questionnaires then will
summarize the answers in statistical
form. Individual answers will remain
strictly confidential, since they will
be combined with those of many other
persons.
