Mike,

The point I'm trying to make is that the ultimate authority for broadcast 
operations on
a military base is the federal entity in charge, that branch of the 
military. By the same
reasoning, a Greenville (NC) station would have to get authorization from 
IBB to build before
they could apply to the FCC for a CP on VOA property.


That said, it could be done, especially if it makes for good community 
relations.
