processes in connection with the creation and/or control of the 
Associations and/or with the control and/or operation of the 
Associations' stations; to determine, in light of the evidence adduced 
pursuant to the foregoing issues, whether Norcom, East End, LMR 900, 
Metro, NY and/or Suffolk are basically qualified to be Commission 
licensees; to determine, in light of the evidence adduced pursuant to 
the preceding issues, whether the captioned licenses should be revoked;
