I have read that radio stations may be on the list of businesses getting federal bailout money. Given the strings usually attached to such loans, I'm not sure this is a good idea. A better idea would be to review all the rules and regulations and eliminate the ones that really don't help. Trim the fees as well. That would keep radio in a much healthier climate. <humor> Of course, if they mandated QSL responses as part of the loan requirements, I'd be OK with that... </humor> Craig Healy Providence, RI _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com
