(For those unfamiliar with what I am talking about, refer to http://earthsignals.com/add_CGC/Quetzal_Opposition.pdf

Lazer (the original filers of the allegations) has filed an opposition to the 325(c) applications filed by John Lynch's Broadcast Company of the Americas.

Some of the photos are of poor quality because of the PDF encoding process; CGC is trying to get better quality copies. I will advise if/when those become available.

Well, it looks like the newer photos (as poor as they are) conflict with the photos taken in mid-May by Joel Saxburg. Same sites, different stuff going on. Maybe. Mr. Saxburg's photos were not close enough to see any slant wires, at least at the resolution they were reproduced with in the PDF. And the Saxburg photo of the 1030/620 site clearly has no slant wire or tuning house for the slant wire.

Gee, ya think it might have been added quickly after the first set of photos?

The difference between flying in a winged aircraft and not landing (thus avoiding clearing the customs procedure) and flying (and landing) in a helicopter with cooperation from the stations is considerable.

The mystery continues, it seems.

I believe both flights were in helicopters. Correct me if I'm wrong, but there was some reference of Mr. Saxberg using a helicopter for his excursion as well.

The new documents are a long read, and do present some problems with the initial findings of Mr. Saxberg. It should be pointed out that he had no access to these sites, other than by air, and would have been denied access for his purposes even if he had asked for same. His mission was to proceed on the information he had at hand.

Larry Morton has been a consultant to Jaime Bonilla for more than ten years. He has assisted Mr. Bonilla on acquisitions and start ups in central California, and has worked on various antenna systems for the improvement of KURS. It would only make sense that he would be retained to respond to Mr. Saxberg's findings in vehement defense of his client.

There is much smoke and mirrors rhetoric contained in Mr. Morton's submission related to approval of his work by the Mexican government. By that I mean not that they agreed with his findings, but that he had documents approving his limited right to work in Mexico. Mr. Saxberg could not have acquired the approval of the Mexican government to do his work. It simply would not have been allowed, as Mr. Bonilla is well connected there, and Mr. Saxberg would have surely been denied a permit, as well as tipping his hand at his intentions. Mr. Morton goes on to reference his Professional Engineer status in the U.S. with some flourish, which is not to be discarded, but is really irrelevant to the question of competence of Mr. Saxberg, which is what is seemingly raised by the somewhat subtle satements made in Mr. Morton's filing regarding Mr. Saxberg.

The question remaining is simple. Are Mr. Bonilla's Mexican facilities operating as authorized? Regardless of anything occurring in the past, are these facilities now verifiably in legal operation?

I will state that I know both Mr. Morton and Mr. Saxberg, and that because I have a long history of working with Mr. Saxberg I harbor some bias in my opinions. As I stated in an earlier post regarding this matter, there are circumstances in which any one of us can err. There is no question in my mind that Mr. Saxberg would do anything that would not be representative of the highest ethical conduct or caliber of character and competence, nor would I suggest anything less of Mr. Morton. If the parties truly desire to come to the answers to these questions, then it is my suggestion that Mr. Saxberg should be allowed the same access to these facilities as that allowed Mr. Morton.

When I was offered the job, it was to be done in a fixed-wing aircraft, without landing in Mexico.

And I wholeheartedly agree with that statement.
