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.
