Having seen the FCC's transition from an Amateur Radio standpoint, I can 
attest that there are a lot of "Crummy" phones out there...but to get along with 
our "neighbors" we have to resolve the issues locally ourselves....and Amateurs 
are only talking about 1000 Watts...on 1800 kHz and above...

Good Quality filters on EVERY phone usually works....buying replacement 
phones is a last resort...but if you want to live in the neighborhood you have to 
solve the problem.....

If I lived under the "Blanket" I would have EVERY affected member of the 
association write EVERY advertiser and tell them about the lack of the station's 
willingness to resolve the problem and that they would, and all the people they 
could influence would, boycott the station's advertisers ..... 

I'm in local AM sales myself...and these type of threats would "kill" our 
sales... they sound like a "Big Boomer" wannabe.....but they are not there 
yet...maybe 'BZ could get away with it but smaller stations don't need any more 
obstacles...
