Finances certainly are playing a role in contributing to WCAP's recent 
technical woes, but deferred maintainance and upkeep of the transmitter and 
technical plant are also to blame IMHO. I agree Bill that there were some 
periods of technical glitches at WCAP, especially after Ike Cohen passed and 
Maurice was running the place solo, but I don't recall WCAP being down for 
an extended period or as frequent as they've been recently under Sam 
Poulten's watch.
