  • antenna height limits to ensure that PLMR stations will not interfere with existing full-power television stations. We have performed our own engineering analysis to determine whether Bridgewater's proposed operation would likely cause interference to protected, full-service TV facilities. Our analysis concludes that the proposed Bridgewater base station will satisfy the effective radiated power and antenna height limits specified in Sections 90.307 and 90.309 of the Commission's rules. Thus, Bridgewater's proposed base station satisfies the Commission's protection criteria with respect to full service co-channel and adjacent-channel TV stations. In addition, Bridgewater indicates that its area of operation of mobile units extends five miles from the proposed base station. Given that the proposed base station is to be located 53.2 miles from the

Finally, Part 22 of the Commission's rules allocates frequencies 479.0625 and 479.1625 MHz for trunked public mobile service, while Part 20 of the Commission's rules states that these frequencies shall be regulated as a commercial mobile radio service. See 47 C.F.R. §§ 22.651, 20.9(a)(6). Therefore, these frequencies are not allocated for public safety operations. Accordingly, Baldwin requests a waiver of

  • This rule provides that base station transmitter sites must be located within eighty kilometers (fifty miles) from the geographic center of an urbanized area listed in Section 90.303. In addition, because Woodbridge proposes to operate in an area less than ninety miles from the adjacent TV Channel 21 Station WLIW, New York, New York, it requires a waiver of Section 90.307(d). Woodbridge states that it is ``the fifth largest municipality in New Jersey,'' and that ``[a]ll Northeast corridor railroads cross Woodbridge and include public industrial stations and depots, including Metropark, New Jersey's largest commuter rail facility.''

Finally, we consider the implications of the County's proposed operations on low power auxiliary stations, such as wireless microphones. The County checked the distances between its proposed base stations relative to nearby TV and DTV stations. All 28 of the County's proposed base stations meet the TV station separation requirements of Sections 90.307 and 90.309, except for seven base stations with respect to co-channel DTV Station KSBY. Accordingly, the County requires waiver of Section 90.309. Despite the short spacing of seven base stations, the County's further analysis shows that zero percent of the population within the Station KSBY protected service area would be affected by the County's base and mobile operations, as described

Therefore, the TV Channel 18 band is allocated for neither PLMRS use nor the subset of public safety use at Franklin's location. Accordingly, Franklin requests a waiver of Sections 2.106(NG66), 90.303, 90.305(a), and 90.307(d) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 2.106(NG66), 90.303, 90.305(a), and 90.307(d).

In this case, the Bud Lake Site is 99.20 km (61.65 mi) from adjacent channel Television Station WNEP. The Commission's Rules also provide maximum power emission standards to protect co-channel television stations from land mobile radio operations. Specifically,

Significantly, we note that NSTN points to no authority for its assertion that the Commission has established requirements setting forth NSTN's desired protection for temporary fixed operations. NSTN also contends that MRA's operations will violate the interference protection requirements of Section 90.307 of the Commission's Rules, in that mobile units associated with Station WQBZ908 will operate within sixty miles of adjacent TV Channel 15 station KPBS-TV, San Diego, California. Additionally, NSTN relies on WAIT Radio v. FCC to determine that the unusual terrain conditions between Station WQBZ908 and the adjacent channel TV operations require a ``hard look'' and are precisely the circumstances

  • By this Public Notice, the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau (Bureau) seeks comment on a waiver request and associated application filed by the Maryland Department of Transportation (Maryland DOT) to operate a five channel, trunked public safety radio communications system on UHF TV frequencies allocated to TV Channel 19. Specifically, Maryland DOT requests a waiver of Sections 90.305(a) and 90.307(d) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 90.305(a) and 90.307(d). The Commission's rules provide that frequencies allocated in the 470-512 MHz band are available for assignment to land mobile radio stations on a geographically shared basis with television broadcast stations. Under the rules, certain TV channels are allocated for assignment to land mobile radio stations in thirteen urbanized areas of

Therefore, frequency pair 502/505.525 MHz within the TV Channel 19 Band is not allocated for use at Baldwin's location. In addition, Baldwin's operations would be located less than ninety miles from adjacent TV Channel 20 Station WTXX, Waterbury, Connecticut. See 47 C.F.R. § 90.307(d). Finally, Part 22 of the Commission's rules allocates frequencies 479.0625 and 479.1625 MHz for trunked public mobile service, while Part 20 of the Commission's rules states that these frequencies shall be regulated as a commercial mobile radio service. See 47 C.F.R. §§ 22.651, 20.9(a)(6). Therefore, these frequencies are not allocated for public safety operations. Accordingly, Baldwin requests a waiver of

In addition, because Woodbridge proposes to operate in an area less than ninety miles from the adjacent TV Channel 21 Station WLIW, New York, New York, it requires a waiver of Section 90.307(d). Woodbridge states that it is ``the fifth largest municipality in New Jersey,'' and that ``[a]ll Northeast corridor railroads cross Woodbridge and include public industrial stations and depots, including Metropark, New Jersey's largest commuter rail facility.''

Finally, we consider the implications of the County's proposed operations on low power auxiliary stations, such as wireless microphones. The County checked the distances between its proposed base stations relative to nearby TV and DTV stations. All 28 of the County's proposed base stations meet the TV station separation requirements of Sections 90.307 and 90.309, except for seven base stations with respect to co-channel DTV Station KSBY. Accordingly, the County requires waiver of Section 90.309.

Against this backdrop, we have performed our own engineering analysis to determine whether Goosetown's proposed operation is likely to cause interference to protected full service TV facilities. Specifically, we have confirmed that the proposed Goosetown base station will satisfy all the protection criteria of 47 C.F.R. § 90.307 with respect to full service co-channel and adjacent-channel TV stations. In addition, we have determined that the service contour will extend only 22.7 miles from the proposed Goosetown base station. Given the fact that the base station is located 50.9 miles from the geographic center for the New York City area under Section 90.303, the service contour will extend only

NSTN also argued that MRA's proposed site did not satisfy the protection criteria for adjacent channel television operations in Section 90.307 of the Rules with respect to Station KPBS-TV, San Diego, California, licensed to the Board of Trustees for San Diego State University.
