                       TITLE 47--TELECOMMUNICATION

                         COMMISSION (CONTINUED)
With tons of activity high in the bands, I was reminded about NO QRO above
21.1!!!!!!!!!  Something to think about when you sign that statement about
obeying the rules of your license.  Don't shoot the messenger!  ;-)  Drat!
