Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] [Amdx] The expanded band turns 15

[mwdxer@xxxxxxxxx (Patrick Martin)]

>>In a nutshell, the petitioners argued that the FCC had utterly failed
to achieve the interference-reduction goal that the five-year rule was
meant to accomplish, and that the public good would now be better served
by allowing X-band licensees to sell their second licenses to minority
or small-business broadcasters, rather than forcing those stations to go
silent, especially when many of them had branched off into separate
programming.<<

I remember calling most of the X Banders that had not signed on back
about 2003 or 04 and was told by one station in Texas that was indeed
going to get their X Bander on, as the CE said "Who would not want a
second station?" So at least that CE was going to keep both going. He
probably thought they could find a hoophole in the law. It looks like
some did, but many just shut off the old freq, as 1290-Portland, OR did.
