Bacon,

Who is the "other" Sunday night broadcaster?  Irb?

Glenn is largely to blame for the power limit fiasco.  He took the FCC to 
court acting as his own lawyer, but presented his case in an incompetent 
courtroom manner, despite having done his homework and preparing a good case 
on paper.  When he lost, he attempted an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.  
This provoked a defensive reaction from Johhny Johnston while he was nursing 
his wounded ego.  When it came time for the FCC to follow through on their 
intitial commitment to "revisit" the AM power limit issue at the end of the 
grandfather period in 1990, they ignored the real issues and the 
overwhelmingly supportive-to-AM comments from the amateur community 
(including ARRL). They proceeded with overtly blatant bogus arguments to 
reject petitions to make the AM grandfather clause permanent.
