[BC] Event coordination

[Mario Hieb, P.E.]

Ron,

I'll say it again: event coordination is different than local station 
coordination. The FCC sees it as a totally different animal. If the event 
needs a license, the event sponsor (NFL in this case) holds the STA.

The NFL doesn't use that many channels, but the TV networks do, and they 
probably have the greatest chance of interfering with local broadcasters. 
Legally, the event is responsible for any interference to incumbent licencees.

Assuming that broadcast engineers are professionals and that SBE is a 
professional organization, they shouldn't be subsidizing the NFL.

SBE is poor, NFL is rich. It's their event and their problem, they should 
pay the bill, and pay the frequency coordinators appropriately (I think the 
hot dog vendors make more.) Does this seem fair to you?

Mario
