Really, I think it's over. We're done. The big guys can do what they
want, I'll be drowned in the prop wash. I'll be lucky to cover the
parking lot - and it ain't that big. Looking at my 3 tower directional
on 6 acres of land. If I scrap the towers, and pull up the copper, sell
the xmtrs to a local ham, demo the building and donate the land to the
city for a dog park........the revenue and tax write off for the
donation.....means I'll have more money than the station is worth. Maybe
I'll take up woodworking for a retirement hobby. AM was fun while it
lasted. Now it's been killed by empty suits who regulate an industry
they don't understand and could care less about. The big guys will
survive because they own the guys in the empty suits. More small
communities will be abandonded. We're done I fear. It's been fun while
it lasted.
