The bill (S. 592), which passed on a voice vote, calls for scuttling a requirement that low-power stations be located more then three clicks away on both sides of the FM dial from commercial broadcasters. As a part of the 2000 legislation authorizing low-power FM, Congress imposed the limitation to assuage fears on the part of larger broadcasters that the newly authorized community stations -- which generate signals of less than 100 watts -- would cause interference over the FM airways.

Its a alphabet agency and crooked one for the most part. I like to see more allowance for pirate stations :) and radio style like the old bandwaves that existed long ago. The govt has overstepped since the 60's and that is when we lost our way of the old waves before my time.. That technology holds the real key, not this junk they force down our throats. If my pop were alive , he have lots to say on this with his expertise, Im still learning and understand the skill of radio of then is a matter of survival of the traditional people of america and the skills offered by them are or great value. We the people have a right , we have been born with that right , and we need to keep that in mind as the master manipulators try to weave us into the newer waves of submission. Which by the way lack , intellect and require no real skill , just robotic formats. Leaving us with the inability to communicate like we are suposed . Today's radio , is lame and no skilless. It leaves the mind disconnected as  a whole.
