As a former resident of the Metro East area, I am aware of the lack of local community radio there. Zenithar proposes to remedy this situation by bringing Home Town Radio to the citizens in the region. They have been working diligently to have their programming ready if granted an LPFM license. Once again, I offer my wholehearted support for Zenithar, Inc.'s LPFM application and urge you to give it the most serious consideration. 711 HART SENATE OFFICE BUILDING WASHINGTON, DC 2051CH304 (2021 224-2152 TTY (2021 224-8180 230 SOUTH DEARBORN, 38TH FLOOR CHICAGO, IL 60604 (31 2) 353-4952 Sincerely, Richard J.
