Of course, but they would not cover the same market
area as each of the existing big sticks. They would
do a bang-up job of covering the evacuated New
Orleans, though.
And of course, there's nothing to prevent a big
stick from being temporarily replaced by small
sticks, if you accept reduced coverage. Even big
sticks can be replaced by medium or small sticks,
and perhaps even gap fillers here and there, until
the big stick has been repaired. Or the surviving
big sticks can be shared by the local broadcasters,
e.g. each one getting an SD channel's worth of
bandwidth.
None of this is a valid excuse to slide back into
the old arguments again, Bob.
