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!) 

Happy Filing !
