   Thanks, I read ARN and wondered what the FCC was thinking.   
      
   After reading Your message it made me think about all of the Automobile   
   Radios that receive the AM Broadcast Band.   
      
   I put a FM Broadcast Band Convertor in a car back in the early 1970's   
   so I could listen to FM Stations as well as AM Stations.   
      
   I can't remember what car I had that first had a Built-In AM/FM Radio   
   in it.   Best I can recall is a car I drove in the 1990's.   
      
   My first car, a 1965 Ford didn't have any Radio in the dashboard.   
      
   To me it doesn't sound Wise to make Analog AM Broadcast Stations cease   
   operating.   
      
   Is that what the FCC is proposing?
