[BC] AM still has potential

Henry: Great self-reliance portrait.  All power to you, albeit homemade.  

One minor difference of opinion with you:  Your statement  "AM as having the
same issue, no one wants them anymore. (or very few)."  AM Broadcasting has
been in decline in the main because owners have disrespected their audiences
by placing over-reliance upon automation, voice tracking and syndicated
programming at the expense of live and locally originated programming.  AM
will rise again like the Phoenix bird out of its ashes if/when the
rulemaking resulting of the NPRM is sufficiently slash-and-burn to cut down
the ageing tall oaks and underbrush weeds to give small investors a chance
to own a new AM station in their communities.  Mark my words, my friend.

>I seem to look at POTS and AM as having the same issue, no one wants them
anymore. (or very few)....  AM works with just about anything that can
rectify Rf into audio, unlike digital receivers that are totally gone in
power outage..
