Wells argues that secondary status is inappropriate because the new licenses do not constitute an extension of Wells' system but rather the return to licensed status of previously authorized stations whose licenses had inadvertently been allowed to expire.
Wells also argues that secondary status should not be imposed because it may require Wells (rather than an ET licensee) to pay the cost of relocating Wells' operations to another frequency band.
