Mr. Derdundat said the 2am to
4am broadcast schedule was inconvenient but the 99,000 watts of broadcast
power he plans to use posed a danger to aircraft operating within a 100-mile
radius of his antennas. "We had to use 99,000 watts to reach every corner of the
continental U.S. and to thwart the governments attempts to jam our signal", said
Derdundat.



Not to mention the FCC would have swooped down on this fool like a
vulture on a corpse. What was he thinking?! And at 1610? He'd be
messing up reception of real stations at AM 1590, AM 16, and at 1620
and 1630.

Not to mention that to find a standard consumer radio that works
properly in that part of the dial is hard. Modern-day cheap stuff is
really iffy up there unless it's digitally tuned, in my experience.

Excuse me while I laugh my silly head off.
