... The pride
with which Gleason asserts his part in getting two AFRTS
stations closed only underscores the assertion sometime back that the only

The driving force in closing AFRTS Ramey and AFRTS Buchanan was the PRBA
which objected, on legal grounds, to those stations covering way too much of
the civilian population when an LPFM would suffice. Considering that, at the
time, the environmental damage and health risk the Navy was putting the
Municipality of Vieques through at the time, the PRBA was rather adamant
about this invasion of Puerto Rican airwaves by the US military.
