Goodbye, Rich

My friend Rich Girerd died this morning after a long struggle with cancer. Rich was the first friend I made when I came to California with my former employer. Always active, always outgoing, and a brilliant mind too. We'll miss you, Rich, and look forward to seeing you again when our time comes.

Radio Licensing Scam Alert

I just got a letter from "Business Radio Licensing" of 26941 Cabot Rd #134, Laguna Hills, CA, telling me it was time to renew a radio license that I hold. They charge a mere $180 for this service. For a $85 license that can be renewed instantly by credit card at the FCC Universal Licensing System, or by mail direct to the FCC, what value are they providing? Smells like a scam to me.

They appear to accept email at info@businessradiolicensing.com, but their web site isn't set up yet.
