The Commission has before it a petition for reconsideration of the Report and Order ("R&O") in the above-docketed proceeding, 9 FCC Red 6767 (1994), filed by Murray Communications ("Murray"), permittee of Station WLJQ(FM), Channel 290A (105.9 MHz), Colonial Heights, Tennessee.

The Commission issued a Notice of Proposed Rule Making ("Notice") in this proceeding, 8 FCC Red 1794 (1993), in response to a petition for rule making (RM-8172) filed by Murray.

Let us hope that the month of January turns out better for DXers like Jeff Falconer and Bill Hepburn, both of whom got caught in that terrible ice storm before Christmas that ran from Maine to the midwest. Bill reported about 1.1” of ice covering everything and Jeff had about ¾” of ice on his APS-13. As far as we can tell, no equipment got totaled in that event, which was just plain rain in many areas to the south. We welcome Stephen Parker to the WTFDA. Stephen lives in London, ON and for all we know, he could be Robert Ross’ neighbor. During the period from 11/14 through 12/22 we had renewals from Russel Lay, Bill Nollman, Randall Trapp, Wolfgang Schneiter, Ted Liczewski, Edward MacDonald, Marv Shults, Edward Ritchie, Matt Sittel, Les Prus, Roger Sabella, Chester Jaffee, Tom Bryant and Garth Jensen.
