91.3 pirate in Quincy?

[Dan.Strassberg]

Brings to mind another pressing question: As global warming increases
the mean sea level, do all of the FCC's records (FM and TV at
least--and there surely must be many, many other types) need to be
continuously updated for the change in HAMSL (height above mean sea
level)? One would think an algorithm could be applied that would make
the correction automatically. This would be especially helpful when
the FCC's offices themselves slip below the waves;>( (OK, I guess it
would be more correct to say "as the waves rise up to envelop the
FCC's offices"). A little gallows humor there.

Also, I believe the FCC needs to think about grandfathering AM
overlaps that suddenly appear because of new salt-water paths that
result from rising sea levels. Oh, the humanity!
