Rich, you know that this is one of the subjects where you and I are in 
complete, 100% agreement. :)

Here is the e-mail address of the station manager. I have corresponded with 
him, and that was why I shared the info I gave before. Please, feel free to ask 
him about his system, listener response, radios sold, etc, as i did not get 
into THAT level of detail with him. I think he would be willing to give you the 
information.

His e-mail is: dan at am91.org

Based on what he told me, their station is a rare exception... so rare, that 
I wanted to share it here... just to see if ANYONE else was having their level 
of success. Perhaps you could glean some more info. I would write to him 
again myself, but I don't want to be a "pest". ;)

You can also glean some info from their WEBsite, www.am91.org
Hmmm... looks like they've changed it since the last time I was there. They 
had a writeup about their HD broadcast, and now I don't see it. Phooey!

Willie...
