I am taking the "you" you speak of to mean me as a Broadcasters in the larger context... (but, if you want to know why as an individual I am indeed blessed, that is a subject we should not subject this reading audience to...but I will freely share in private correspondence...) We do what we do within the context of a license, with MANY restrictions. Hardly a free ride here. Lots of investment "plowing the fields" , "planting the corn", and giving a fair share back (who knows, in light of recent statements, the Clinton's might argue we are merely share croppers...) :^) BTW, we have offered that this is a service that could be well suited to provide a mobile / portable platform to inform a nation in times of need, and as a Broadcaster having a somewhat "restricted" access to public airwaves, we would freely provide in support of a modern Emergency Broadcasting Service. It has been demonstrated to work quite well for such purposes... John Golitsis wrote: >So others should pay while you get to do it for free.
