It seems Congress may pass a bill allowing more low power stations. Be
curious to see how this plays out.

In a semi-related matter I am curious why the extended AM band
neverreally got a foothold in New England.For example couldn't
Entercom solve their MetroWest hole by say moving WVEI to somewhere
between 1610 and 1700? Since the bulk of AM listeners are in cars
tuning the station would not be a problem.
