[EAS] LPFM was Re: We're Obsolete!

[Bill Ruck]

Several LPFM groups that I have encountered have little or no idea of 
what effort is necessary to support a radio station, LPFM or Class C FM 
or whatever.

When San Francisco Community Radio started their LPFM process I told 
them (and I was on the board at the time) that I can assemble a radio 
station in a couple of days but keeping the station on the air 24x7 is a 
lot of work and you guys need to get your act together.

I was told that I was being too negative.

Guess what?

When KXSF-LP was granted I put together a control room and transmitter 
and then watched them flail about until they got it together.

Not all LPFM groups have an experienced (but negative !) advisor.
