 8) Thank You dim bulb. That is the way I wanted radio to be as a kid of 12 in 1958 ! I ended up getting a FCC first Phone license and pretending watching a transmitter meter was radio. Oh, well at WVMT in the day it paid for one year of college.
What I find amazing is FCC's propaganda calling free radio people Pirates. No way we should as citizens own the air ways and have the corporations pay us for their stupid gimmicks and propaganda abuse in pursuit of upping capitalism.
To me its FREE Radio and FREEDOM. Again thanks. My pretend station in 1957 was WJJY ! I wish my dad had been an engineer and not an alcoholic!  ???

 Damn FCC under Reagan stopped the first phone and made it irrelevant. A dog catcher can be the technical dude at a station since 1970's. They sent me a card, said good for life, but good for what exactly? :'(
