Great timing I have meetings today with state agencies overseeing our statewide project to get an amateur station in each critical care hospital in Alabama. We have 62 hospitals with installed stations who will be affected, with another 50 or more coming this year. Thanks for posting and I will let you know how we are progressing. 73

I wonder how long it will take before the FCC gets tired of granting all of these waivers. It doesn't seem like a good use of time and resources.
