[BC] Class C AM Stations

[Scott Bailey]

You're right, new Class C's are still licensed, but no new Class "D" daytimers, but there have been a few with high political contacts that have got it done.

What I'd like to see is something done with 1610. 100 watts on a 50' tower would help rural towns with no AM service. Who care what Mexico thinks, their illegal citizens climb the border to take the good advantages of our country. We should work with Canada on this.
