  • the proposed facility from the specified transmitter site with an ERP of no more than 0.045 kW, it would create no prohibited overlap with WABZ-FM's Indian Trail facility. It has been staff practice since the inception of the LPFM service to issue construction permits to successful LPFM applicants that specify both the maximum and minimum permissible facilities pursuant to Section 73.811(a)(1). Without the interference being caused to WABZ-FM, Central's application would have been granted with a maximum ERP of 0.086 kW. However, to eliminate any such interference, we will grant the application with a maximum ERP of 0.045 kW and a minimum ERP of 0.043 kW. This action is taken pursuant to Section 1.110 of the Commission's rules. Accordingly, the April

It has been staff practice since the inception of the LPFM service to issue construction permits to successful LPFM applicants that specify both the maximum and minimum permissible facilities pursuant to Section 73.811(a)(1). Without the interference being caused to WABZ-FM, Central's application would have been granted with a maximum ERP of 0.086 kW. However, to eliminate any such interference, we will grant the application with a maximum ERP of 0.045 kW and a minimum ERP of 0.043 kW.
