Exhibits
Exhibit 34
Description:
REASONS FOR EXTENSION

   AS REFLECTED IN THE INITIAL STA REQUEST, FILED JUNE 8, 2007, PROBLEMS WITH BOTH A DAYTIME AND NIGHTTIME KOIL MONITORING POINT WERE FIRST REALIZED DURING A ROUTINE STATE BROADCASTERS ASSOCIATION INSPECTION. PRIOR TO THE INSPECTION THE STATION'S MONITOR POINT VALUES WERE WITHIN AUTHORIZED LIMITS. STA WAS REQUIRED SINCE SUBSEQUENT MEASUREMENTS CONTINUED TO REFLECT A VARIANCE.
   STATION ENGINEERS HAVE WORKED PERSISTENTLY ON THE PROBLEM SINCE THEN AND AT TIMES KOIL HAS INDEED BEEN BROUGHT INTO COMPLIANCE. HOWEVER, DUE TO THE COMPLEXITY OF THE STATION'S ARRAY, ALONG WITH A GREAT DEAL OF RECENT RAIN, KOIL IS ONCE AGAIN OUT OF TOLERANCE BOTH DAYTIME AND NIGHTTIME. ACCORDINGLY, THE STATION CONTINUES TO BE OPERATED WITH REDUCED POWER IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN THE MONITORING POINTS WITHIN AUTHORIZED PARAMETERS.
   THERE IS NO APPARENT DAMAGE TO THE ANTENNA SYSTEM AND THE LIKELY CAUSE OF THE ONGOING, AND EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING, PROBLEM IS PRESUMED TO BE EITHER A SHIFT IN GROUND CONDUCTIVITY OR LOCAL CONDITIONS AT THE AFFECTED MONITOR POINTS.
   MONITOR POINT MEASUREMENTS ARE CONTINUING AND IF THE PROBLEM IS NOT SOON RESOLVED, OUTSIDE CONSULTANTS WILL PROMPTLY BE BROUGHT IN TO ASSESS AND RECTIFY IT. HOWEVER, IT IS INCREASINGLY UNLIKELY THAT THIS WILL OCCUR BEFORE THE CURRENT STA EXPIRES ON SEPTEMBER 20. THUS THE NECESSITY OF THIS EXTENSION REQUEST.
   WAITT OMAHA, LLC IS COMMITTED TO RESTORING KOIL TO FULL LICENSED OPERATION AT THE EARLIEST TIME. IN THE MEANTIME, HOWEVER, AND FOR THESE REASONS, GOOD CAUSE EXISTS FOR AN EXTENSION OF STA AND SUCH AN EXTENSION IS RESPECTFULLY REQUESTED.
