My comments on the KXEL petition:
Response to KXEL petition - 02.26.2014. In addition to the above, I submit that in a national emergency the high power stations would provide needed dissemination of information within its day and night coverage areas and provide redundancy should that be needed! Low power and FM stations would be much less capable of providing the public's interest, convenience, and necessity. Further, with the heightened concerns about national security to limit available, operating, and viable communications systems operating within the law seems at best foolhardy! In terms of rapid emergency or even, God forbid, catastrophic periods the high power stations would be a more immediate and possibly coordinated communications facility. Many ground stations would be much more difficult to sabotage than concentrated systems such as cable and satellites. And remember the proven reliability and simplicity of the A. M. systems and wireless communications in general. Tom E. H. Gruis, Ed. D.
