Oh, good - more clutter. I think there are different questions to be asked - starting with whether or not the number of such stations broadcasting the same announcements 24/7/365 in continuous loops or rebroadcasting NOAA Weather radio in the same manner serves an purpose at all. It really ins't necessary for them to broadcast at all unless they have something to say, i.e. in the case of some sort of emergency. Then comes the question of whether every small municipality needs to have their own station.

Below is an excerpt: from FCC Web Site: Tom Jasinski Joliet "Generally, the Order and NPRM seeks public comment on whether the FCC should significantly expand the scope of permitted communications and alerts by local governments on TIS stations and what limits if, in any, should be placed on those noncommercial messages. The FCC is also seeking comment on whether TIS power limits should be modified to reach a larger listening audience in their coverage area and to what extent TIS broadcast locations should be expanded without resulting in harmful interference to the communications of other licensed broadcasters." -----Inline Attachment Follows----- _______________________________________________ Dxtip mailing list dx...@nrcdxas.org http://lists.nrcdxas.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dxtip _______________________________________________ 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
