        I just knew I was in trouble when I sent that post <g>, but I
somehow had deleted or lost part of the year-end NERW. At least, that's my
bad excuse and I'm stickin' to it.
        I should have known the call change for 1260 would have been there.
In fact, I think I saw that the FCC is working on a proposed special
rulemaking to the effect that only in nine states no call letter change
will be considered effective until reported in NERW <big grin>.
