There are those words again. -AM footnotes- Is that true? The only reason AM can operate is because of some AM footnotes? I think sentences 2 and 3 give evidence that sentence 1 is not true. If it was true that AM is only legal because of "AM footnotes", it would certainly be a one step process to leave them out at some point in the future. That's probably what some people hope will happen. I believe the "mini uproar" showed him that it will not happen without resistance. Good that he noticed. :) Kent/KX5KW ______________________________________________________________ Our Main Website: http://www.amfone.net AMRadio mailing list List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.html Post: mailto:AMRadio@mailman.qth.net To unsubscribe, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
