91.3 pirate in Quincy?

[Tim Coco]

The ease of obtaining equipment and "having fun" is probably behind "most"
of these pirate efforts.  However, one must admit, there are a few people
with legitimate concerns about how the FCC has managed the spectrum, its
limited filing windows and support for consolidation.  Federal marshals
pointing guns with kids playing with a Mr. Microphone also seems to be a bit
disproportionate.

I also feel for the small legitimate broadcasters who can't attract
advertising or afford to provide local news as has been the case in the
Merrimack Valley. As an aside, and I hope I'm not out of line here, I don't
understand why the 49% minority owner (a corporation related to the
Eagle-Tribune newspaper) can't help WCCM put on the news.

It's probably the same sort of phenomenon as the kids who put all sorts of
information on their MySpace pages that come back to haunt them when
prospective employers check them out there.
