[WXBH-Discuss] Correction: WXBH and Fern Creek licenses run concurrently

[topdog at woofer.com]

I was by there the other night.  They have a nice tower (courtesy of 
JCPS) but I
didn't notice an LPFM antenna on it yet.  If you could ask him what brand and
model they decided upon it would be a lot of help.  PLUS, they have to pass an
FCC inspection just like we do so I would be interested to know when that
happens and what would be involved.  It would behoove us to learn from their
mistakes.

I'd love to see the Nashville footage.  I wish someone would have informed me
that you were going.  My engineering contact (who has built many of the
stations in Nashville) lives there now and we could have dropped in and asked
him questions firsthand.

See you THIS Saturday at 3:30.

Paul
