Didn't you say in the past that after going back to the US and/or Puerto
Rico
(after getting tossed) that you were still trying to sell your stations in
Ecuador?

No, I said that in '69, thinking I could sell, I worked briefly with Art
Keller as a manager at EZ Communications and had a deal to buy 25% for $100
k, but when I got back to Ecuador things were so bad that foreign currency
transactions were frozen and I could not do any deal. About then, I put the
talk AM on and made the mistake of speaking out against the government.

They did have airplanes back then, and I could come and go.

Now, in one rapid 24 hour period, you are telling us that you
*transferred* it
all to some employee cooperative, before you got tossed?

Did you do that at gunpoint as well?

No, I signed some documents with my lawyers, and they filed them within
hours. A socialist government could not go against a worker's cooperative, a
day old or a century old. I lost the stations, but not to the government. I
still grin when I imagine the faces of the military junta guys when they
realized they had a Catch 22 on their hands.

You probably sank to your knees and serviced some of the junta members
in the hope that they'd allow you to climb on board the rapidly
approaching gravy train. As soon as you were done, they had no further
use for you. And the gravy train? Darn it, wouldn't you know it was
overbooked...

The government went against the cooperative. So much for that story.

Several audits in 43 years of filing returns is hardly a lot. Never paid
a
penny in additional charges, because I pay what I owe and pay it on time.

You, on the other hand, seem to know all about frequent audits.

How so? I've never been audited and most people only randomly get
audited once so the fact that it has happened to you a number of times
means you are raising red flags.

The frequency of audit increases dramatically for those in higher income
brackets. The frequency of audit increases dramatically for those filling
the long form. The frequency of audit increases dramatically for those
filing the self-employment income schedule. The frequency of audit increases
dramatically for those with high charitable contributions. Those with a high
number of claimed dependents get audited more often, too.

Those filing form EZ1040 with a W4 that matches the IRS computer seldom get
audited unless. Those with incomes over a half-million may get audited
routinely every few years.

That's a bunch of baloney. I told you I not been audited and my tax
situation is light years away from the easy tax forms and I know many
people that make millions a year don't get audited either.

So it's like I said. You are doing something that is questionable in the
eyes of the IRS. I'm not saying you are doing anything wrong but that
maybe you fit a profile that raises a flag.

Plenty of people are talking about it. Perhaps the problem is that no

Describe a couple of these supposedly plentiful cases of NYC stations being
interferred with inside their interference free contours.

You can't because there are no cases.

The mere fact that the ratings, which came out 15 minutes ago, show no
changes in listening levels in the NY market, disproves your point.

This reminds me the argument we had where you posted that I had to be
lying about the signal strength of stations I was receiving on AMBCB.

You ever make it up this way with a portable radio?

Nope, not so. Cooperative operated 590 and 810 for about 30 years.
Foolishly, they abandoned the FM simulcast licenses and when AM started to
die in the larger cities of Ecuador, the stations went silent.

That's a bunch of baloney. I told you I not been audited and my tax
situation is light years away from the easy tax forms and I know many

Most of the personal finance magazines have calculated the different odds of
audit at different income levels and with different types of filings.
Everything I listed increases the probability of audit. Self-employment is
also one of the major triggers, as it is one of the places income can be
understated.

So it's like I said. You are doing something that is questionable in the
eyes of the IRS. I'm not saying you are doing anything wrong but that

Since both instances had to do with split tax years in Puerto Rico, that was
likely the reason. If one changes residence during the year, the portions of
the year lived in each tax jurisdiction are taxed separately and without
overlap, as with all other separate tax jurisdictions.

Again, simply: Inside the 10 mv/m contour for AM and the 64 dbu contour for
FM is where about 95% of all listening takes place, irrespective of whether
the areas beyond the contour are highly populated or rural. Listeners do no
tune to weak signals.

The fact that you can hear a station does not mean any local listeners will
tune to it. That is because what may be easy for you to tune, and of
acceptable strength, is not for nearly everyone else. Whether it is New York
or Florida or Texas or Puerto Rico, carefully tabulated diary returns show
where listening takes place, and it is almost entirely inside the named
contours.

And again I'm not talking about weak signals. Strong signals that are
picked up with no background noise on a PORTABLE RADIO with its INTERNAL
antenna. The table top radios were just used as a reference because it
has a signal strength meter.

I don't much time listening to weak signals. I don't care for putting up
with noise.

The fact is that they may seem strong to you, but they are not considered
listenable by nearly everyone else or there would be vastly more listening
nationally outside the named contours and there is not.

Yep, that is what the listeners say via their behaviour... signals below the
strength I mentioned are more subject to noise, harder to tune, etc. So they
don't listen.

It was merely called the "cooperative". It was the government.
