There are different regulations conerning transmitteroperation amongst different licenses (non commercial, comemrcial, etc).. and maybe Powell can chime in here.
But... WPEB would not be allowed to use that transmitter. A transmitter for use by an FCC licensed radio station has to be Type Accepted/Certified and I have a feeling that one ISN'T. Also, if WPEB is going to upgrade their best bet is to reach Class A Status. All they have to do is meet a 100W ERP, but not 100 feet. They could run 100W from 5 feet HAAT and make Class A Status. WPEB, as a Class D, could be thrown off by something as small as a translator. (I know an FM station licensed for 1KW at 3 feet) Paul Walker www.realradiousa.com On Wed, May 21, 2008 at 8:59 AM, HASCALL, DAVID CIV DFAS < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hey John, ya never know about folks not hearing them.
