Re: FCC file # RM-9208 and RM-9242.

Dear Sirs,

I remember when the FCC flooded the nation with new low power stations with docket 80-90. Please don't let that happen again.  Many of those stations never made a profit and ended up being sold over and over again.

Please don't let the pirates operate low power stations. Once they get authorized, they will be tempted to keep increasing the power on the sly, and the FCC will have a big mess on their hands. Say no to FCC File # RM 9208 and RM 9242.

Radio provides plenty of opportunity to discuss issues and public service on the present stations. Thats why talk stations have been so successful.
 

Sincerely Yours,
 

Ralph J. Carlson, President.
