"Noncommercial"? Hmm. Silly mee. I saw "rec.radio.noncomm" and thought it meant "noncommunications" as in telemetry and Loran and that sort of thing... ...and I got real apathetic... Well, that's changing right now. I don't see where there's any sort of a need to delineate between for-profit and non-profit radio. And if there was, I'd certainly expect the new group to concentrate on commercial radio rather than noncommercial. It would make more sense if there was a rec.radio.broadcast for discussions of mainstream, non-hobbyist radio bands. (Including not only the N.A. 535-1600KHz and 88-108MHz, but also the Far-Eastern 76-92MHz and Eurasian/African LW bands). Any takers for a change in the paradigm? > spl (the p stands for > public broadcasting is > in my blood...) Okay, buddy. Put your arms out, close your eyes, tilt your head back, hold this piece of coax in your mouth, and touch your nose -- HOLD IT! Perfect. Now stand like that for 24 minutes... --Blair "Stop scratching! You're making snow all over the Tardis..."

And I thought it meant 'non commissioned' like, say, pirates ...:-) I'm _so_ glad that someone's already gone and called for votes on this one. Would someone please send me the address to which to send my NO vote? Remember, if you don't vote no, people who don't have any more of a clue as to the deficiencies of the proposed group will vote yes, and then we'll be stuck with it. --Blair "Gad I hate politics almost as much as I hate lunatics."
