Yes, I guess time will tell. Do you think that the next 6 months will be a fair enough test to see if ACRO can get some earnings momentum going? Goober

Karl, I dont recall any prior sales to Davis. Can you confirm them as a new customer and the number of stations they operate? IMO the American Tower deal could be HUGE, and has been over-looked by ACRO investors!

I do think the American Tower deal is being overlooked. It comes out to between 250 and 280 transmitters and my understanding is that the majority of them are high power. That's a lot of revenues, no matter what the size of the transmitters.
