That's the very least of his troubles.

The rest of the story is that the guys had failed to correctly do the 
paperwork to the FCC to get control. Jim T signed it over to Keith... 
that's the short of it. The EDC had no interest in the station until 
some broker told them the station was worth nearly half a million. 
They then wanted to sell the station and take the money and run. They 
locked Keith out and kept (and destroyed a lot of....) Keith's 
personal property. He finally got the stuff back, but a lot was left 
outside and was ruined.

The folks in the EDC have so many skeletons in their closet(s) that 
they could NEVER be qualified to run or
own a station. Funny thing is, there are so many open frequencies in 
that area, you could get one. No one in
their right mind is going to bid a lot of money for anything there.

Amarillo is 90 miles away.....BUT as you head west on I-40 that 90 
miles has a rather large terrain difference. Amarillo is 1000 feet 
higher in elevation than Shamrock and Wheeler. There is *NO* over the 
air TV or FM reception from Amarillo. Yes, you can get TV reception. 
It's a multi-hop STL system and UHF tranlators. You see VERY high 
antennas with high gain UHF antennas in the area. Those that can put 
up a tower and put up a large VHF and UHF array might be able to pull 
in OKC some 150 miles to the east.....
