No, Eduardo, YOU deny the facts. In the REAL WORLD, people DO listen to
radio stations, daily, at all hours, outside your precious city grade
contours.
I've heard that people have picked up WABC and WKBW in Europe.

Should their signals be protected there?

TWR used to broadcast out of Bonaire with 500KW's. How far should we
protect their coverage?

Should we have made CKLW sign off because it might interfere with someone
picking up TWR in Louisiana?

This is the defense you are submitting. How far should we take this?

This is the real world...taking your hypothesis to it's ridiculous
conclusion.

The key word is 'ridiculous.' Which negates your claim to be 'real
world.'


I think what he was showing was that the claim that signals should be
protected to infinity is ridiculous.

It has no practical place in the real world.


No one was claiming protection to infinity. Which was my point. There
is no place in the real world for his argument. It was ridiculous in its
premise. On two fronts. There is no practical protection to infinity.
And no one was making that suggestion.

Strawman argument.

He's negated his own point.
