Since Weston, West Virginia, is located within the protected areas of the NRAO's "Quiet Zone" at Green Bank, West Virginia, the licensee of station WDTV-DT will be required to comply with the notification requirement of Section 73.1030 of the Commission's Rules. Withers submits an engineering study noting that Section 73.525(c) of the FCC rules permits new NCE-FM stations to cause predicted interference up to 3,000 people within the analog service area for a TV channel 6 operation. The study states, based on the requirements of new NCE-FM stations, that the calculated interference from the proposed channel 6

  • Lake Cedar recently received approval by Jefferson County for its modified tower. CARE raises four matters in opposition to Lake Cedar's modified tower. CARE argues that operation of the Stations' analog and DTV facilities from the modified tower would not comply with the following Commission Rules: (1) protection of the radio receiving zone at Table Mountain, Boulder County, Colorado (Section 73.1030(b)); (2) compliance with the radiofrequency radiation exposure limits (Section 1.1310); (3) protection of historic sites (Section 1.1307(a)(4)); and (4) protection of Indian religious sites (Section 1.1307(a)(5)). Commission staff recently concluded that the Lake Cedar modified tower would comply with the Table Mountain protection requirements set forth in Section 73.1030(b) of the Rules.

  • has stated clearly that Low Power FM operations could not interfere with full-power operations when it created the Low Power FM service. 8. Cox Radio, Inc. (``Cox'') filed reply comments in which it argues that an FM facility operating on Channel 266C cannot place the 70 dBu signal over Waianae required by Section 73.315 of the Commission's rules, because Section 73.1030(c) of the Commission's Rules states that the facility must provide protection to the monitoring station at Waipahu, Hawaii. Cox states that in order to provide protection to that monitoring station, Petitioner would be obligated to utilize a directional antenna, which, in turn, would reduce the signal strength in the direction of Waianae below the level required for city-grade coverage.

In addition, low power FM applicants in Puerto Rico will need to coordinate with Cornell University regarding the radio coordination zone on that island. This requirement is necessary to ensure that research work at these installations will not be disrupted.
