Yes, and yes... Insurance would cover it. We did, in fact, have a tower go 
down a few years back. Insurance not only covered the tower, it helped to offset 
the lost revenue from the resulting low-power operations. (Several months 
worth!)

Hopefully, by bringing the issue up here on this Forum (where there are a 
great many B'casters reading) some that are affected by this will stir, and start 
the ball rolling on their end. We can't do it alone, but perhaps *as a 
group*, we can at least get our collective voices heard. That's what I'm hoping to 
accomplish, anyway.

Yeah... spend a lotta moolah! ;) If there were a way to move to a new 
frequency, that would be a viable option. If only we could get on the ExBand... sigh.

That's a good question. The VP will be coming down, today, and hopefully I'll 
have a few minutes to talk to him about it.
