One of the peculiar things that can happen in the Broadcast Industry on
their posts you think you are legal and for some unforseen reason someone
sends a letter out stating that a tower has to be painted.
I know thats weird, but you ought to see the trees @ my job site, tops

made a Federal Case out of it. called Hazzard to Air Navigation, the 100 to

I cannot wait ( unless I get hired into my trade ) to see how the expansion
plans are going to happen, PANDORA'S Box !! everything moves towards the
Air Port !!
