This is excellent, thank you.  I assume that we will learn more as the SAS 
comes online? And are any of the registrations going through now? Last time I 
registered a link it took 2 months and I had to hound the FCC a lot about it 
until they finally just did it so I'd stop annoying them.

Thank you,
Brett A Mansfield
