-Caveat Lector- <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"> </A> -Cui Bono?- The word so far is: It looks like LPFM will have two classes: 1 - 10 watts 50 to 100 watts Antenna: maximum of 30 meters HAAT. Operation: minimum of 36 hours a week. Programming: NCFM. Political broadcasting will be under similar rules as current licensees must observe. Ownership: This would seem to restrict ownership to local community groups, schools/universities, local governments, and churches (Local churches only? Not known as yet). There will be "one LPFM to a market" at first, with additional stations possible in "a year or two". (This will make a lot of the local "activists" real "happy"). Winning applicants will be chosen on a "point system" with longer existing organizations getting additional points. Misc: There will be "some" required participation in EAS. No "Public Inspection File". Short "Windows" may open as soon as May. Those who operated the "pirate" stations and refused to stop when "busted" will not be allowed to get the new licenses. <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic screeds are not allowed. Substance�not soap-boxing!
