[BC] Asset too valuable to sell

[Mike McCarthy]

Actually, it's more complicated than that.  The administration...rightly or 
wrongly...is seeking some form of protection in the form of errors and 
omission if the application process should go awry.  That's standard 
boilerplate policy in many districts.

Also the upgrade of a 10 watt class D to 100 watts is a really a MAJOR 
action which requires a rule making and allocation of that channel as a 
Class A station.  I've seen this happen a few times.
