[grc] Low-power FM radio advocates withdraw some objections

[Paul Bame]

*Low-power FM radio advocates withdraw some objectionsCalifornia and
Pennsylvania, USAMay 31, 2018Advocate groups Center for International Media
Action, Common Frequency, Inc, and Prometheus Radio Project have withdrawn
20 of their informal objections filed on May 15th with more to come.Through
ongoing research the group concludes that their objection does not apply to
certain translators. These objections concern translators licensed prior to
the Local Community Radio Act (LCRA), or licensed to cover a permit which
honored the initial LCRA processing rules, and in either case subsequently
have not made long Mattoon waiver or AM relocations. In the interest of the
time and energy of the Commission, applicants, and the group itself; they
have withdrawn twenty of these objections this week and more will be
withdrawn next week.One of the withdrawals is in response to a request the
group received. They welcome specific requests through their press
contacts, on behalf of applicants for translators with similar
histories.Contact:Paul Bame, Prometheus Radio Project,
