Are you now suggesting that we are on a different plane as well? You
may be right, we probably are years ahead... therefore required to
follow a rule that comes into effect in the future on the 1st of
October2003... while the transmitters being used to block us continue
broadcasting without once announcing who they are though they should
have been doing so every 3 hrs from the 1st of July, 2000 but
continue to do so with the blessings of the LPFM operators and the
MED.
