Exhibits
Exhibit 16
Description:
JUSTIFICATION FOR STA

WIHM(AM) HAS DEVELOPED A TRANSMITTER PROBLEM; THE TRANSMITTER CANNOT MAKE MORE THAN 40% POWER. THIS IS TO NOTIFY THE FCC PURSUANT TO 47 CFR SEC. 73.1560(D) OF THIS PROBLEM AND ALSO TO RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT THE FCC GRANT WIHM(AM) A SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORIZATION TO OPERATE AT REDUCED POWER UNTIL THE TRANSMITTER IS REPAIRED AND CAN RESUME OPERATIONS AT FULL LICENSED POWER.

THE PUBLIC INTEREST, CONVENIENCE AND NECESSITY WOULD BE WELL SERVED BY A GRANT OF THIS REQUEST, WHICH WILL ENABLE WIHM(AM) TO CONTINUE TO OPERATE WHILE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE ORDERED AND DELIVERED AND REPAIRS CAN BE COMPLETED.
