Sec. 74.1205 Protection of channel 6 TV broadcast stations.
The provisions of this section apply to all applications for construction
permits for new or modified facilities for a noncommercial educational FM
translator station on Channels 201–220, unless the application is
accompanied by a written agreement between the NCE-FM translator applicant
and each affected TV Channel 6 broadcast station licensee or permittee
concurring with the proposed NCE-FM translator facility.
(a) An application for a construction permit for new or modified facilities
for a noncommercial educational FM translator station operating on Channels
201–220 must include a showing that demonstrates compliance with paragraph
(b), (c) or (d) of this section if it is within the following distances of a
TV broadcast station which is authorized to operate on Channel 6.

(b) Collocated stations. An application for a noncommercial educational FM
translator station operating on Channels 201–220 and located at 0.4
kilometer (approximately 0.25 mile) or less from a TV Channel 6 station will
be accepted if it includes a certification that the applicant has
coordinated its antenna with the affected TV station.
(c) Contour overlap. Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, an
application for a noncommercial educational FM translator station operating
on Channels 201–220 will not be accepted if the proposed operation would
involve overlap of its interference field strength contour with any TV
Channel 6 station's Grade B contour, as set forth below.
(1) The distances to the TV Channel 6 station Grade B (47 dBu) field
strength contour will be predicted according to the procedures specified in
Sec. 73.684 of this chapter, using the F(50,50) curves in Sec. 73.699, Figure 9 of
this chapter.
(2) The distances to the applicable noncommercial educational FM translator
interference contour will be predicted according to the procedures specified
in Sec. 74.1204(b) of this part.
(3) The applicable noncommercial educational FM translator interference
contours are as follows:
FM channel Interference Contour F(50,10) curves (dBu)
201 54
202 56
203 59

(d) FM translator stations authorized prior to June 1, 1991 with facilities
that do not comply with the predicted interference protection provisions of
this section, may continue to operate, provided that operation is in
conformance with Sec. 74.1203 regarding actual interference. Applications for
major changes in FM translator stations must specify facilities that comply
with the provisions of this section.
