Can people please, for the love of God, STOP saying this? The LPFM window isn't open, nor will it be for the forseeable future. Why is this the statement people make when community radio people say they'd like to make a community radio station?
What are people supposed to do in the meantime? Build the studio with no transmitter? This is what gets lost on some anti-expansion people. We don't have the time to sit on our butts and wait...for...decades?
Community radio is something that can be done now. I've really had it up to here with people that are so blinded by the rules that they don't see the bigger picture.
FM. 1/2 watt. Community radio. Licensed. Why can't this get done?
...apply for "a" LPFM not "an"..
Those aggravating people who give impossible advice are symptomatic of a larger problem in society... people who only get the first few lines of any news story and never bother to read the "continued on the back page" part.
LPFM is one of those things people don't grasp because it has more than two details to keep track of, and that might cut into checking out the movie star and recording artist gossip.
Some of them are so stupid they think Prince was married to Princess Grace and Princess Diana, who were one and the same.
But this is a happy friendly website and we must be tolerant of fools and idiots.
Back to business... macdev asks "How can this get done?"
One word. Money.
The people who keeps saying this is really silly. IT makes me more than mad. Maybe if everyone sticks together we can help not hurt this hobby for all of us.
I really hope you're kidding because "a LPFM" is gramatically incorrect.
The ALPB hereby issues a grammer waiver.
We know what is being said, why quibble over turns of word.
