That is correct information.  Frequently a LPFM is established to serve a 
rural community that really isn't inside any city limits.  That doesn't mean 
that people don't live there, or that the station is not serving those that 
do.  

Those of you who live in rural areas will note that very often the Post 
Office gives you a mailing address using a town name that is quite far away.  
In my own instance, my official "911" street address is for a town that is 18 
miles away from me.  It is a rare occasion when I go there.  The last time 
was for jury duty.  To confuse matters more, I have a phone that is listed 
in a different city, get my mail at a post office in yet another town and pay 
taxes to a fourth town's school district.  Such is life in Rural America.

Since most LPFMs are in rural areas - the only place they would fit, thanks 
to the third adjacent protections - then this is not at all uncommon.
