[IRCA] What is going on with WVMC Mount Carmel IL?

["HASCALL, DAVID CIV DFAS" <DAVID.HASCALL@xxxxxxxx>]

If this has already been mentioned, I apologize.

Since the Indiana Radio Watch (newsletter) is copyright protected, I
will not do a cut and paste but the latest version has a soap opera type
story involving WVMC-AM 1360 in IL.  Interesting stuff:  

Apparently the FCC received correspondence from Chief Operator Marty
Hensley (!) who was turning in WVMC's license as the station went
bankrupt, equipment was foreclosed and so on.  He added that the station
was silent since May 2008. The FCC then deleted the call and cancelled
the license.  THEN the President of Wabash Communication's wrote the FCC
and said that Hensley wasn't Chief Operator and basically had no say in
turning in the license and that the station is operating (not silent).
The FCC said that DWVMC could now continue to operate.

Questions:

1. What does Marty Hensley have to do with Wabash and WVMC?

2. Is this a case of hi-jacking? i.e. could I just fire up a letter to
the FCC and say that I'm the big cheese and that Wxxx or Kxxx is silent
and hope that the FCC pulls the license?

3. Is this a case of Marty just going nuts?  Recall that he tried to
force high school and college radio stations in Central Indiana to carry
his REL programming

4. Has this station actually been silent at some point?

5. Is (was?) Hensley hoping to do something else with 1360?

Thanks.
