  • have independently reviewed the County's engineering analysis and agree with its conclusions. The generally accepted protection criterion for a contour analysis between a PLMRS station and an adjacent channel TV station is zero dB at the TV station's Grade B contour. Although the Commission's rules do not use the term ``Grade B'' to describe contours for Class A stations, Section 73.6010(a)(3) of the Commission's rules provides a protected contour value of 74 dBu for Class A stations on TV Channels 14-69. Based on the non-overlap of Lancaster's 74 dBu interfering contours with Station WTSD-CA's existing and proposed 74 dBu service contours, we agree that Lancaster would provide the requisite 0 dB protection to Station WTSD-CA. Because Class A stations have primary
