The fact your aligned with people from the #1 broadcasting market in the
nation only makes sense you continue as a contributor. As you probably saw
in my posts earlier today, this whole thing was not thought through. This is
typical of how things are done today.

I love your idea about freezing the number of stations currently lit
becoming the test base. This will keep the horse in the barn until all the
bugs are worked out. (of course this is so simple someone missed it) Is
there someone in this group who could petition the commission in the name of
this fine group? OR am I just p***ing in the wind?

Yes, it's an option. Let's not go there if at all possible.
