As proof of this, today I was given a 13 page 'Broadcast regulatory
compliance calendar'. Althogh not all of it is applicable to any one
class of station, the overall effect is enormous. I don't know what
purpose all this regulatory stuff serves, but it apparently part of what
Joe Biden ment when he said that 'regulation creates jobs'.

I have one of those smartphones that has an effective FM receiver in
it-- if you use headphones. It seems thet use the headphone cord as the
antenna, which is only good if youhave headphones (you can turn on the
internal speaker if the headphones are attached(!) ) I would use if more
if I didn't have to carry headphones around with me. But nevertheless, I
like and use the feature.
