Sec. 27.58 Interference to BRS/EBS receivers.
(a) WCS licensees shall bear full financial obligation to remedy
interference to BRS/EBS block downconverters if all of the following
conditions are met:
(1) The complaint is received by the WCS licensee prior to February
20, 2002;
(2) The BRS/EBS downconverter was installed prior to August 20, 1998;
(3) The WCS fixed or land station transmits at 50 or more watts peak
EIRP;
(4) The BRS/EBS downconverter is located within a WCS transmitter's
free space power flux density contour of -34 dBW/m 2 ; and
(5) The BRS/EBS customer or licensee has informed the WCS licensee of
the interference within one year from the initial operation of the WCS
transmitter or within one year from any subsequent power increases at
the WCS station.
(b) Resolution of the complaint shall be at no cost to the
complainant.
(c) Two or more WCS licensees collocating their antennas on the same
tower shall assume shared responsibility for remedying interference
complaints within the area determined by paragraph (a)(4) of this
section unless an offending station can be readily determined and then
that station shall assume full financial responsibility.
(d) If the WCS licensee cannot otherwise eliminate interference caused
to BRS/EBS reception, then that licensee must cease operations from
the offending WCS facility.
(e) At least 30 days prior to commencing operations from any new WCS
transmission site or with increased power from any existing WCS
transmission site, a WCS licensee shall notify all BRS/EBS licensees
in or through whose licensed service areas they intend to operate of
the technical parameters of the WCS transmission facility. WCS and
BRS/EBS licensees are expected to coordinate voluntarily and in good
faith to avoid interference problems and to allow the greatest
operational flexibility in each other's operations.
