Folks, Robert is right on this.  If the FCC had any interest in this, they
would be NAL's all over the place.  What many don't understand is the
commission has a limited staff, less engineers and more lawyers, which is
really stupid, but that's our governmnet for you. Cutbacks!  Heck, they
can't even keep up with Steve Duffer in CA and his illegal transmitter
building school, and his encouragment of priate broadcasting.  In addition,
the FCC has more to worry about than AM, according to the higher ups in DC.
Just look at the many services they are responsible to regulate!

Willie, I hate to say, but Milton's station up there on 1530 and is not
causing you interference, they won't pay you any attention if you compain.
Your on 1500, not 1530.  This right or wrong thing is wore out.  How many
people are going 65 mph on the highway and the speed limit is 55. Millions
everyday, and we ALL on this list are guilty of that. Don't lie say you are
not, because we all are!

At a TAB meeting in Nashville back in January, complaining as an indivudial
will get you nowhere, however, if your a station owner or GM, and there is
interference to your station, caused by a co-channel station, AM or FM, it
will become highly likely it will get looked into.  The FCC is more
concerned with EAS and Fence Rules these days.

 "One day, the commerical AM Band will be come like the CB Band. IMHO, it's
headed that way."

sure will

and attitudes such as yours and Robert's are why
