Agreed.  Even many of us on this list have trouble keeping track of what 
station is on what band...especially some of the bottom feeder AMs that 
change calls every 6 mo. anyway.  How do you expect the general public to 
know.  Even the tv stations are often referred to by the calls as opposed 
to channel #.
