No. There will be no fine. There will be no trouble. You see, WBAA is a
non commercial public broadcaster which places it high above those
money-grubbing commercial broadcasters who are only interested in
profit. WBAA has to continue serving the broad intellectual audience of
West Lafayette, without governmental meddling, since as a public
broadcaster, they are serving the "greater good". Let a commercial
broadcaster or mom and pop AM somewhere try this limp-wristed
explanation "the computer ate my license renewal"  and the Commission
will fine them, and might even cancel them. Oh, and WBAA has great
material for their next pledge-drive: "keep us on the air, we had to
spend all our money on a Washington attorney........"
