Re: LPFM - Tech Question

["Douglas J. Broda" <djbroda@mindspring.com>]

Agreed, if you're in it for the $$$. But I assumed (darned assumptions)
that the most likely LPFM applicants would be either hobbyists (where even
minimal ad revenue would help defray costs); advocates of a particular
philosophy (ditto); community groups (ditto) or local religious groups
(again ditto, and a ton better than another translator). That would be a
different financial model, wouldn't it, than that applicable to a typical
commercial operator?
