As Biltmore correctly points out, however, that rule applies only to low power television and television translator stations, not to boosters. Sunbelt next asserts that the proposed facility's 64 dBu contour would overlap and cause interference to an area within the KHIZ(TV) Grade B contour

See Engineering Aspects of Television Allocation, Report of the Television Allocation Study Organization, March 16, 1959. See 47 C.F.R. � 74.705(d). Analog TV signals are more susceptible to interference than digital TV signals, so they represent the ``worst case'' in determining the appropriate D/U signal ratio. See 47 C.F.R. � 73.623(c).

An LPTV proposal must protect the Grade B service contour of full service stations authorized on the same channel, the first adjacent channels above and below, the 7th channel above and the 14th and 15th adjacent channels below the channel proposed for the LPTV station.

  • are to be preserved from interference under the certification of eligibility provisions. Where a full-service NTSC application or rule making proposal must protect a Class A station, the protection should be based on a contour overlap approach similar to that used for LPTV applications protecting the Grade B contour of NTSC stations; i.e., according to the criteria given in Section 74.705 of the LPTV rules. The interference predictions would be based on the facilities proposed in the application. Petitioners for analog channels must identify reference NTSC facilities (location, effective radiated power, antenna height above average terrain and, if desired, horizontal antenna radiation pattern) for the purpose of showing the necessary contour protection. It is necessary to consider a variation on this

In the Notice, the Commission generally proposed to protect the Class A service contours in the manner that LPTV stations protect NTSC stations and each other. We proposed that applicants for NTSC stations protect Class A stations pursuant to the criteria in Section 74.705 of the LPTV rules. The Notice proposed that applicants for LPTV and TV translator stations and Class A facilities modifications protect Class A stations under the standards in Section 74.707.

An LPTV proposal must protect the Grade B service contour of full service stations authorized on the same channel, the first adjacent channels above and below, the 7th channel above and the 14th and 15th adjacent channels below the channel proposed for the LPTV station. LPTV service stations authorized to operate with an effective radiated power

  • are to be preserved from interference under the certification of eligibility provisions. Where a full-service NTSC application or rule making proposal must protect a Class A station, the protection should be based on a contour overlap approach similar to that used for LPTV applications protecting the Grade B contour of NTSC stations; i.e., according to the criteria given in Section 74.705 of the LPTV rules. The interference predictions would be based on the facilities proposed in the application. Petitioners for analog channels must identify reference NTSC facilities (location, effective radiated power, antenna height above average terrain and, if desired, horizontal antenna radiation pattern) for the purpose of showing the necessary contour protection. It is necessary to consider a variation on this

  • providing interference protection to Class A service areas, other than equating these areas with LPTV signal contours. In the Notice, the Commission generally proposed to protect the Class A service contours in the manner that LPTV stations protect NTSC stations and each other. We proposed that applicants for NTSC stations protect Class A stations pursuant to the criteria in Section 74.705 of the LPTV rules. The Notice proposed that applicants for LPTV and TV translator stations and Class A facilities modifications protect Class A stations under the standards in Section 74.707.
