[BC] Regulations For AM Station DX Te sts

[DANA PUOPOLO]

Let's get real for a second.

The FCC enforcement division has turned into a bunch of sniveling traffic cops
running around writing traffic tickets - all for revenue enhancement. They are
no different then the cop who gave me a 155 dollar ticket in East Bumsuck, PA
because I rolled through a stop sign that was 10 feet from the crest of a hill
(with no intersection).

The FCC, working with Congress has done more to ruin radio as a profession
then anyone. Under the FCC, radio has become homogenized pablum mostly owned
by a few big companies. NOW the FCC, unhappy with (just) trashing Radio/TV,
turns to (ruining) telecom and cable TV, where under their tutelage the United
States is blessed with some of the highest rates in any first world country
for telephone, cable/satellite TV and broadband Internet.  

Does anyone know where the U.S. rates in  broadband penetration per 100,000
homes? I do. We slipped from twelfth to 17th this year! South Korea is first,
Canada fifth. 

Oh and let's not forget that we have about the worst cell service of any major
country as well.

The FCC is friends of big business. They are no friend of any of us citizens.
They are one of the most politically run Govt. Divisions.

Pretty interesting read.  I sure hope the stations in question have changed 
the passwords on their remote controls by now.
