[BC] Class C AM Stations

[George Brand]

Hey, what may be considered "half cooked" ideas occasionally turn into a
great stew. In our rural area we would love a simple am to cover our
community. Tests show 100 mw comes close already. We have no local stations,
our only FM was spirited away years ago first to Petoskey, then to Traverse
City, both 70 miles away. A Gaylord FM does a good job making us "feel at
home" but they have their hands full with their COL. I'd love three
stations, strung across Montmorency Co MI to serve us. We believe there is
enough revenue potential to operate at a small profit a simple ma and pa in
the vein of Scott's operation.( I own a business here) Small radio is not
dead, its just ignored by those who don't need it.

 There is a three station combo in the next County that is just ignoring
everything, barely runs PSA's, let alone spots. I wish for the old days
where, for example, if you needed a Post Office and the other guy wasn't
using it, ya hitched up a team and pulled it to your town. (Yes, it did
happen in my little  town, the burg of Judges PO's Post Office became the
Lovells P.O. one night)

Keep stirring the pot

theories and/or ideas >sometimes.

>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.
