If you think he has power at the FAA, you should see the FCC.Ted's pal Jack Campbell owned WPLM, whose towers are visible from Route 3 southbound. A 50,000 watt station,(in theory), it was heard on electrical appliances,(radios that were turned off, food processors, anything plugged in), hot water baseboard heat pipes and pretty much anything you can imagine in the Kingston/Rocky Nook area. One guy claimed he heard it on his dental fillings.FCC told me that it was all in my mind. A station owner would NEVER crank up the power just to get more listeners. Ookaayy.....
