Like Mr. Scott Hill (May 10 Feedback) I can also sympathize with the WAMO
listeners who were shut out when the station completed the transmitter swap. I
commend Mr. Ron Davenport for taking interest in his listeners' problems. 

However, I too must object to the proposed solution. If Mr. Davenport thinks
WSSZ will help bring these listeners from the eastern part of Pittsburgh and
the east suburbs back into the fold, he's mistaken. WSSZ is every bit as
difficult to pick up indoors in eastern Allegheny County as WAMO now is.
Instead of solving his problem, he'll merely deprive WSSZ listeners of their
source of music and items of local interest.

I encourage anyone who feels similarly to write to Sheridan Broadcasting, and
further when the proposal is filed to complain to the Federal Communications
Commission, Mass Media Bureau, 2025 M Street NW, Room 8210, Washington DC,
20554.

Only if objections are voiced now, before it is too late, can this travesty be
prevented.
