Glad to see the domain thealpb.com initialized, but what seemed odd is that the "Industry Canada Rules" is listed as the predominant link on the main page..?

Is it not the USA that by far has the highest percent of active participants of part 15 (and/or legal low power) broadcasters in the world?
Why would the Canadian rules be the primary link?
I think my comment above should have specified: and/or legal license free low power
Well, at least the USA is before the Wikipedia link..
The links are in alphabetical order, that is why Industry Canada is at the top.
No other reason or rhyme.
You might also find that NZ has more legal license free low power stations per head of capita in the world or maybe the whole world. Its a big problem in some of the big city's with overcrowding.

There could be more or less than on the wiki as stations come and go all the time.
Im lucky there is only 2 LPFM stations in my small town of Raglan.
I see. However, initially it does make it seem to present an indication of the ALPB being a Canadian organization, who also welcomes broadcasters from the USA and New Zealand.
I don't know, I guess it's just me.
To me, it felt odd.
But then again, the emphasization of "low power" has always been an oddity to me as well (as I've argued in the past), as it tends to indicate a different group entity.
BUT.. apparently I stand alone, so it must be I that am odd!
