>>Public Interest, Convenience, OR Necessity; I can think of situations
where Convenience and Necessity would conflict - and so could the
framers of 47 USC 304...<<

47 USC §309 uses "and" instead of "or" in that phrase...twice:

(a) Subject to the provisions of this section, the Commission shall
determine, in the case of each application filed with it to which section 308 applies,
whether the public interest, convenience, and necessity will be served by the
granting of such application, and, if the Commission, upon examination of such
application and upon consideration of such other matters as the Commission may
officially notice, shall find that public interest, convenience, and necessity would be
served by the granting thereof, it shall grant such application.
