§ 73.816 Antennas.
(a) Permittees and licensees may employ nondirectional antennas with
horizontal only polarization, vertical only polarization, circular
polarization or elliptical polarization.
(b) Directional antennas generally will not be authorized and may not be
utilized in the LPFM service, except as provided in paragraph (c) of this
section.
(c)(1) Public safety and transportation permittees and licensees, eligible
pursuant to § 73.853(a)(2), may utilize directional antennas in connection
with the operation of a Travelers' Information Service (TIS) provided each
LPFM TIS station utilizes only a single antenna with standard pattern
characteristics that are predetermined by the manufacturer. Public safety
and transportation permittees and licensees may not use composite antennas
(i.e., antennas that consist of multiple stacked and/or phased discrete
transmitting antennas).
(2) LPFM permittees and licensees proposing a waiver of the second-adjacent
channel spacing requirements of § 73.807 may utilize directional antennas for
the sole purpose of justifying such a waiver.
(d) LPFM TIS stations will be authorized as nondirectional stations. The use
of a directional antenna as provided for in paragraph (c) of this section
will not be considered in the determination of compliance with any
requirements of this part.
