	Editorial
		After opinions of involved with preparing for community radio operations in Nakhonratchasima were heard, it was desired that agencies responsible for considering approvals have those involved with preparing for community radio operations use broadcast power of 300-500 watts and with towers in excess of 30 meters to cover a wider footprint.
		And at this time the regulations for community radio stations are broadcast power of no more than 30 watts, tower height from ground no more than 30 meters, signal reach of no more than 15 kilometers, and advertising for a maximum of six minutes.
		Currently large community radio stations with broadcast strength over regulations have decreased their strength; that is, the signal can still be heard but there are still some stations that have not corrected their broadcast strength.
