Sec. 74.1237 Antenna location.
(a) An applicant for a new station to be authorized under this subpart or
for a change in the facilities of such a station shall endeavor to select a
site which will provide a line-of-sight transmission path to the entire area
intended to be served and at which there is available a suitable signal from
the primary station. The transmitting antenna should be placed above growing
vegetation and trees lying in the direction of the area intended to be
served, to minimize the possiblity of signal absorption by foliage.
(b) Consideration should be given to accessibility of the site at all
seasons of the year and to the availability of facilities for the
maintenance and operation of the FM translator.
(c) Consideration should be given to the existence of strong radiofrequency
fields from other transmitters at the translator site and the possibility
that such fields may result in the retransmission of signals originating on
frequencies other than that of the primary station.
(d) The transmitting antenna of an FM booster station shall be located
within the protected contour of its primary station, subject to Note,
Sec. 74.1231 (h). The transmitting antenna of a commonly owned commercial FM
translator station shall be located within the protected contour of its
commercial primary FM station.
(e) A translator or booster station to be located on an AM antenna tower or
located within 3.2 km of an AM antenna tower must comply with Sec. 73.1692 of
this chapter.
