Where is it being wiped out? If it's outside your protected contour, 
the general attitude is that you're out of luck. I'm sure you're 
wrong about the lawsuits. In this very forum we were assured by a 
very powerful EVP that their stations would never cause interference. 
If the interfering stations are under his control I'm sure you only 
need to call and tell him there's a problem and he'll make them shut 
down. Check the archives. He promised.
