Rather, such assignments are made, as they must be, on the basis of certain overall rules and standards, representing to some extent a statistical approach to the problem, taking into account for each situation some of the variables ( e.g., power and station separations ) and averaging out others in order to achieve the balance which must be struck between protection against destructive interference and the assignment of a number of stations large enough to afford optimum radio service to the Nation.

However, to succeed, the approach requires genius jocks, totally in-tune with their audience, who are also committed to the commercial success of the radio station.

However, this may be an effective approach for a new station, if talented jocks can be recruited and motivated at low salaries.

Historically, each approach had its advantages: ARCNET added a small delay on an inactive network as a sending station waited to receive the token, but Ethernet's performance degraded drastically if too many peers attempted to broadcast at the same time, due to the time required for the slower processors of the day to process and recover from collisions.

The system is powered by two stationary in series 500 kW electric motors, a gear box and a ' soft start-soft stop ' control system which can increase the electrical frequency and vary the current and voltage to control the carriage speeds as they approach or leave a station.
