ATTENTION !!!!! Ham radio operators who want a commercial station... Music lovers tired of 'Joy' 'Magic' 'Evergreen' and Madonna Kate Bush lovers who think that these towns can support such a thing People who wanted to know exactly where the heartland of America is I am posting to net.analog the FCC lottery results for the 683 80-90 FM channels opened up beginning in October. NOW IS YOUR CHANCE to own your very own RADIO STATION, and to change the face of broadcasting forever...especially you people in net.music, who could stand to own a few radio stations. Best of all, they're FM !!!!!!!! At worst, the towns make for some interesting reading. If you know of any of these places, and their populations are under 1000, please let me know (I'm curious about how many of these are swamps and intersections of highways with a residential population of 39). There are also details of how the assignments were arrived at, and how you can compute where the transmitter has to go (a few of these really are limited to an area of 1 - 2 sq miles or so, the area being in a genuine, 8 foot deep, swampola!)
