		 the bottom of the phone....

       My apologies.  My first article was based on a September	 28
       regulatory  discussion  with  Ms.  Flora	 Stewart, FCC Field
       Operations Bureau in Chicago.

       After reading Cliff's heated response on	October	3, I called
       the  FCC,  and spoke with a Mr. Sklom.  This fellow contrad-
       icted the information given in the first	conversation!
