Re: [VAL] FM radio station in Airstream at Astrodome

[Rick Kunath <k9ao@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Note:

The FCC granted KAMP a new temporary license for a 6-watt transmitter 
located right outside the Dome.

This is a special temporary license granted by the FCC to this station. 
This is done under special emergency circumstances at times to allow for 
information dissemination during emergencies. It is a real radio 
station, with real call letters, and a real FCC license with all of it's 
requirements, i.e. public service announcements, record keeping 
requirements, a percentage of it's broadcast time devoted to the public 
good, etc.

It is *most* unlikely that a WBCCI International would be considered a 
national disaster, so any special authorization for a broadcasting 
license would (as per past FCC precedent) most likely be denied.

Who knows, if you can convince George W. that the next International is 
going to be a disaster of biblical proportions, you may get a license too.

Realistically, not gonna happen. But it is a nice thought.
