[GreenKeys] A Little More TWX History

[Chuck]

When I went to work for KOLO-TV in Reno, NV, we had a deskfax on one of the 
desks for incomming msgs from the FCC!!!

I still have the one sent to us to go to a 20Kw Tx and 166,000KW ERIP in 
1977 in my files.

What a stink!  The Lady that had it on her desk was allways complaining 
about it.
