(read the exhibits, down at the bottom) In a nutshell... 87.9MHz is a valid FM channel, but only for Class D stations and only under VERY limited circumstances. So far, a 10-watt high-school station in California is the only one to qualify for this frequency. Until last week. K201DR, a translator on 88.1 in Sun Valley, Nevada, got displaced by a new full-power station on 88.3. The full-power station and another translator precluded moving to any other frequency with a minor change. Major changes are under freeze, and if the freeze isn't lifted within 12 months the K201DR license will be revoked. K201DR argues that 87.9 is the only frequency available to them -- that they're a Class D station (they're so listed in the FCC Database) -- and that they won't interfere with any other station. (terrain shielding from KVIE-TV channel 6) FCC buys it, grants a CP, and assigns new call letters K200AA. http://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/MB/Public...s/ac040223.txt , again scroll to the bottom -- Doug Smith W9WI Pleasant View (Nashville), TN EM66 http://www.w9wi.com |
