Re: LPFM - Tech Question

["Marc Lemay" <mmkc@msn.com>]

OK - can someone clear something up for me?

With my limited brain power of technical issues when it comes to radio, let
alone the Pandora's Box of LPFM, the way I understand this "victory" for
LPFM is this:

Let's say - for conversation sake, I wanted to start an LPFM station in
Greater Boston...under the rules, I not only have to find a frequency that
doesn't interfer with Boston stations, but other stations in nearby markets,
such as Providence, Worcester, and even Manchester.

Am I understanding this correctly?  And if so, doesn't this mean Boston LPFM
folks get the proverbial shaft, due to the amount of frequencies NOT
available around here?

Don't get me wrong - I'm all for LPFM - I just see this as a weak victory
for fans of LPFM - unless of course you live in the sticks where radio is
more of a luxury and not a livelyhood.
