  • on reconsideration undermines the Commission's important interest in the orderly authorization of broadcast services. New Life also argues that the Commission has repeatedly rejected the use of field-strength measurements against an applicant that has relied on the standard FM prediction methodology to demonstrate compliance with the Rules. In any event, New Life asserts that the November 2007 Report violates Section 73.314(a) of the Rules, which, it claims, states that field-strength measurements may be submitted only in the context of a ``rule making proceeding'' or ``upon the request of the Commission.'' , alternative methodologies will not be accepted. As discussed above, the staff has previously determined that terrain does not materially impede service to Cidra. We therefore will deny the Objection. Conclusion/Actions.

  • HAAT of 33 meters. Chisholm Trail has thus demonstrated that Station's antenna is almost 30 meters higher than authorized and, as noted, Licensee has not challenged Chisholm Trail's allegation. However, Nolan's methodology for making field strength measurements of Station's signal, from which he concludes that Station is operating at excessive power, does not comport with the methodology prescribed by Section 73.314 of the Commission's Rules. Additionally, while Nolan alludes to field strength measurements of the Station's signal, he does not provide data sufficient for us to confirm his conclusions. Thus, we find that Chisholm Trail has established Licensee's operation of the Station is at variance with its licensed facilities with regard to antenna height, but has not established that the Station's
