There are no operators. This isn't the first time.
There likely is no one at the helm and they aren't
paying attention or don't care. They have no night
authoritity. IF they did it would be less than 10
watts.

No FM to simulcast. I think it's off the bird.

I have friends in the Atlanta FCC office, and they
know about it. Actually they will call them and tell
them what's going on before they GO over there and
give them a nice little pink piece of paper. And if it
continues someone will have to pull out their
checkbook.
