Recently, while perusing the Internet (that’s a nice way to say doing some kind of semi-research) I happened to notice a particular link for Amateur Radio licensees.
Specifically, I was searching for broadcast outlets in the greater Florence, Alabama area (stations which originate in Lauderdale or Colbert county). In case you’re not aware, there are Radio: 7 - AM; 17 - FM; 7 - TV; for a GRAND TOTAL of 31!
Wow! That’s a whole lot!
The Huntsville MSA, a much more populated, and educated area, has 9 - AM; 19 - FM; 7 - TV; for a GRAND TOTAL of 35!
What is up with that?!
Maybe I’m in the wrong business…
Anywho, It just so happened that there was a link to Amateur Radio licensees. So, I thought, “woo-hoo! That’s me!”
And, yeppers, I’m in it.
