§ 73.203 Availability of channels.

(a) Except as provided for in para-graph (b) of this section, applicationsmay be filed to construct FM broadcaststations only at the communities andon the channels contained in the Tableof Allotments (§ 73.202(b)). Applicationsthat fail to comply with this require-ments, whether or not accompanied bya petition to amend the Table, will notbe accepted for tender.

(b) Applications filed on a first come,first served basis may propose a loweror higher class adjacent, intermediatefrequency or co-channel. Applicationsfor the modification of an existing FMbroadcast station may propose a loweror higher class adjacent, intermediatefrequency or co-channel, or an sameclass adjacent channel. In these cases,the applicant need not file a petitionfor rule making to amend the Table ofAllotments (§ 73.202(b)) to specify themodified channel class.

NOTE: Changes in channel and/or class byapplication are limited to modifications onfirst, second and third adjacent channels, in-termediate frequency (IF) channels, and co-channels which require no other changes tothe FM Table of Allotments. Applications re-questing such modifications must meet ei-ther the minimum spacing requirements of§ 73.207 at the site specified in the applica-tion, without resort to the provisions of theCommission’s Rules permitting short spacedstations as set forth in §§ 73.213 through 73.215or demonstrate by a separate exhibit at-tached to the application the existence of asuitable allotment site that fully complieswith §§ 73.207 and 73.315 without resort to§§ 73.213 through 73.215.

§ 73.205 Zones.

For the purpose of allotments and as-signments, the United States is dividedinto three zones as follows:

(a) Zone I consists of that portion ofthe United States located within theconfines of the following lines drawnon the United States Albers Equal AreaProjection Map (based on standard par-allels 291/2° and 451/2°; North Americandatum): Beginning at the most easterlypoint on the State boundary line be-tween North Carolina and Virginia;thence in a straight line to a point onthe Virginia-West Virginia boundaryline located at north latitude 37°49′ andwest longitude 80°12′30′′; thence west-erly along the southern boundary linesof the States of West Virginia, Ohio,Indiana, and Illinois to a point at thejunction of the Illinois, Kentucky, andMissouri State boundary lines; thencenortherly along the western boundaryline of the State of Illinois to a pointat the junction of the Illinois, Iowa,and Wisconsin State boundary lines;thence easterly along the northernState boundary line of Illinois to the90th meridian; thence north along thismeridian to the 43.5° parallel; thenceeast along this parallel to the UnitedStates-Canada border; thence southerlyand following that border until it againintersects the 43.5° parallel; thence eastalong this parallel to the 71st meridian;thence in a straight line to the inter-section of the 69th meridian and the45th parallel; thence east along the45th parallel to the Atlantic Ocean.When any of the above lines passthrough a city, the city shall be consid-ered to be located in Zone I. (See Fig-ure 1 of § 73.699.)

(b) Zone I–A consists of Puerto Rico,the Virgin Islands and that portion ofthe State of California which is locatedsouth of the 40th parallel.

(c) Zone II consists of Alaska, Hawaiiand the rest of the United States whichis not located in either Zone I or ZoneI–A.

[29 FR 14116, Oct. 14, 1964, and 31 FR 10125,July 27, 1966, as amended at 48 FR 29504, June27, 1983]

§ 73.207 Minimum distance separationbetween stations.

(a) Except for assignments made pur-suant to § 73.213 or 73.215, FM allot-ments and assignments must be sepa-rated from other allotments and as-signments on the same channel (co-channel) and five pairs of adjacent


113


channels by not less than the minimumdistances specified in paragraphs (b)and (c) of this section. The Commissionwill not accept petitions to amend theTable of Allotments unless the ref-erence points meet all of the minimumdistance separation requirements ofthis section. The Commission will notaccept applications for new stations, orapplications to change the channel orlocation of existing assignments unlesstransmitter sites meet the minimumdistance separation requirements ofthis section, or such applications con-form to the requirements of § 73.213 or73.215. However, applications to modifythe facilities of stations with short-spaced antenna locations authorizedpursuant to prior waivers of the dis-tance separation requirements may beaccepted, provided that such applica-tions propose to maintain or improvethat particular spacing deficiency.Class D (secondary) assignments aresubject only to the distance separationrequirements contained in paragraph(b)(3) of this section. (See § 73.512 forrules governing the channel and loca-tion of Class D (secondary) assign-ments.)

(b) The distances listed in Tables A,B, and C apply to allotments and as-signments on the same channel andeach of five pairs of adjacent channels.The five pairs of adjacent channels arethe first (200 kHz above and 200 kHzbelow the channel under consider-ation), the second (400 kHz above andbelow), the third (600 kHz above andbelow), the fifty-third (10.6 MHz aboveand below), and the fifty-fourth (10.8MHz above and below). The distances inthe Tables apply regardless of whetherthe proposed station class appears firstor second in the ‘‘Relation’’ column ofthe table.

(1) Domestic allotments and assign-ments must be separated from eachother by not less than the distances inTable A which follows:

§ 73.208 Reference points and distancecomputations.

(a)(1) The following reference pointsmust be used to determine distanceseparation requirements when peti-tions to amend the Table of Allotments(§ 73.202(b)) are considered:

(i) First, transmitter sites if author-ized, or if proposed in applications withcut-off protection pursuant to para-graph (a)(3) of this section;

(ii) Second, reference coordinatesdesignated by the FCC;

(iii) Third, coordinates listed in theUnited States Department of Interiorpublication entitled Index to the Na-tional Atlas of the United States ofAmerica; or

(iv) Last, coordinates of the mainpost office.

(The community’s reference pointsfor which the petition is submitted willnormally be the coordinates listed inthe above publication.)

(2) When the distance between com-munities is calculated using commu-nity reference points and it does notmeet the minimum separation require-ments of § 73.207, the channel may stillbe allotted if a transmitter site isavailable that would meet the mini-mum separation requirements and stillpermit the proposed station to meetthe minimum field strength require-ments of § 73.315. A showing indicatingthe availability of a suitable siteshould be sumitted with the petition.In cases where a station is not author-ized in a community or communitiesand the proposed channel cannot meetthe separation requirement a showingshould also be made indicating ade-quate distance between suitable trans-mitter sites for all communities.

(3) Petitions to amend the Table ofAllotments that do not meet minimumdistance separation requirements totransmitter sites specified in pendingapplications will not be considered un-less they are filed no later than:

(i) The last day of a filing window ifthe application is for a new FM facility

or a major change in the non-reservedband and is filed during a filing windowestablished under section 73.3564(d)(3);or

(ii) The cut-off date established in aCommission Public Notice under§ 73.3564(d) and 73.3573(e) if the applica-tion is for a new FM facility or a majorchange in the reserved band; or

(iii) The date of receipt of all othertypes of FM applications. If an applica-tion is amended so as to create a con-flict with a petition for rule makingfiled prior to the date the amendmentis filed, the amended application willbe treated as if filed on the date of theamendment for purposes of this para-graph (a)(3).

NOTE: If the filing of a conflicting FM ap-plication renders an otherwise timely filedcounterproposal unacceptable, the counter-proposal may be considered in the rule-making proceeding if it is amended to pro-tect the site of the previously filed FM appli-cation within 15 days after being placed onthe Public Notice routinely issued by thestaff concerning the filing of counterpropos-als. No proposals involving communities notalready included in the proceeding can be in-troduced during the reply comment period asa method of resolving conflicts. Thecounterproponent is required to make ashowing that, at the time it filed the coun-terproposal, it did not know, and could nothave known by exercising due diligence, ofthe pendency of the conflicting FM applica-tion.

(b) Station separations in licensingproceedings shall be determined by thedistance between the coordinates of theproposed transmitter site in one com-munity and

(1) The coordinates of an authorizedtransmitter site for the pertinent chan-nel in the other community; or, wheresuch transmitter site is not availablefor use as a reference point,

(2) Reference coordinates designatedby the FCC; or, if none are designated,

(3) The coordinates of the other com-munity as listed in the publication list-ed in paragraph (a) of this section; or,if not contained therein,

(4) The coordinates of the main postoffice of such other community.

(5) In addition, where there are pend-ing applications in other communitieswhich, if granted, would have to be


116

47 CFR Ch. I (10–1–96 Edition)§ 73.209

considered in determining station sepa-rations, the coordinates of the trans-mitter sites proposed in such applica-tions must be used to determine wheth-er the requirements with respect tominimum separations between the pro-posed stations in the respective citieshave been met.

(c) The method given in this para-graph shall be used to compute the dis-tance between two reference points, ex-cept that, for computation of distanceinvolving stations in Canada and Mex-ico, the method for distance computa-tion specified in the applicable inter-national agreement shall be used in-stead. The method set forth in thisparagraph is valid only for distancesnot exceeding 475 km (295 miles).

(1) Convert the latitudes and lon-gitudes of each reference point fromdegree-minute-second format to de-gree-decimal format by dividing min-utes by 60 and seconds by 3600, thenadding the results to degrees.

(2) Calculate the middle latitude be-tween the two reference points by aver-aging the two latitudes as follows:

ML=(LAT1dd+LAT2dd)÷2

(3) Calculate the number of kilo-meters per degree latitude differencefor the middle latitude calculated inparagraph (c)(2) as follows:

KPDlat=111.13209¥0.56605 cos(2ML)+0.00120cos(4ML)

(4) Calculate the number of kilo-meters per degree longitude differencefor the middle latitude calculated inparagraph (c)(2) as follows:

KPDlon=111.41513 cos(ML)¥0.09455cos(3ML)+0.00012 cos(5ML)

(5) Calculate the North-South dis-tance in kilometers as follows:

NS=KPDlat (LAT1dd¥LAT2dd)

(6) Calculate the East-West distancein kilometers as follows:

EW=KPDlon (LON1dd¥LON2dd)

(7) Calculate the distance betweenthe two reference points by taking thesquare root of the sum of the squares ofthe East-West and North-South dis-tances as follows:

DIST=(NS2∂EW2)0.5

(8) Round the distance to the nearestkilometer.

(9) Terms used in this section are de-fined as follows:

(i) LAT1dd and LON1dd=the coordi-nates of the first reference point in de-gree-decimal format.

(ii) LAT2dd and LON2dd=the coordi-nates of the second reference point indegree-decimal format.

(iii) ML=the middle latitude in de-gree-decimal format.

(iv) KPDlat=the number of kilometersper degree of latitude at a given middlelatitude.

(v) KPDlon=the number of kilometersper degree of longitude at a given mid-dle latitude.

(vi) NS=the North-South distance inkilometers.

(vii) EW=the East-West distance inkilometers.

(viii) DIST=the distance between thetwo reference points, in kilometers.

§ 73.209 Protection from interference.(a) Permittees and licensees of FM

broadcast stations are not protectedfrom any interference which may becaused by the grant of a new station, orof authority to modify the facilities ofan existing station, in accordance withthe provisions of this subpart. How-ever, they are protected from inter-ference caused by Class D (secondary)noncommercial educational FM sta-tions. See § 73.509.

(b) The nature and extent of the pro-tection from interference afforded FMbroadcast stations operating on Chan-nels 221–300 is limited to that which re-sults when assignments are made in ac-cordance with the rules in this subpart.

§ 73.210 Station classes.(a) The rules applicable to a particu-

lar station, including minimum andmaximum facilities requirements, aredetermined by its class. Possible classdesignations depend upon the zone inwhich the station’s transmitter is lo-cated, or proposed to be located. The


117


zones are defined in § 73.205. Allottedstation classes are indicated in theTable of Allotments, § 73.202. Class A,B1 and B stations may be authorized inZones I and I–A, Class A, C3, C2, C1, andC stations may be authorized in ZoneII.

(b) The power and antenna height re-quirements for each class are set forthin § 73.211. If a station has an ERP andan antenna HAAT such that it cannotbe classified using the maximum limitsand minimum requirements in § 73.211,its class shall be determined using thefollowing procedure:

(1) Determine the reference distanceof the station using the procedure inparagraph (b)(1)(i) of § 73.211. If this dis-tance is less than or equal to 28 km,the station is Class A; otherwise,

(2) For a station in Zone I or Zone I–A, except for Puerto Rico and the Vir-gin Islands:

(i) If this distance is greater than 28km and less than or equal to 39 km, thestation is Class B1.

(ii) If this distance is greater than 39km and less than or equal to 52 km, thestation is Class B.

(3) For a station in Zone II:(i) If this distance is greater than 28

km and less than or equal to 39 km, thestation is Class C3.

§ 73.211 Power and antenna height re-quirements.

(a) Minimum requirements. (1) Exceptas provided in paragraphs (a)(3) and(b)(2) of this section, FM stations mustoperate with a minimum effective radi-ated power (ERP) as follows:

(i) The minimum ERP for Class Astations is 0.1 kW.

(ii) The ERP for Class B1 stationsmust exceed 6 kW.

(iii) The ERP for Class B stationsmust exceed 25 kW.

(iv) The ERP for Class C3 stationsmust exceed 6 kW.

(v) The ERP for Class C2 stationsmust exceed 25 kW.

(vi) The ERP for Class C1 stationsmust exceed 50 kW.

(vii) The minimum ERP for Class Cstations is 100 kW.

(2) Class C stations must have an an-tenna height above average terrain(HAAT) of at least 300 meters (984 feet).No minimum HAAT is specified forClasses A, B1, B, C3, C2, or C1 stations.

(3) Stations of any class except ClassA may have an ERP less than thatspecified in paragraph (a)(1) of this sec-tion, provided that the reference dis-tance, determined in accordance withparagraph (b)(1)(i) of this section, ex-ceeds the distance to the class contourfor the next lower class. Class A sta-tions may have an ERP less than 100watts provided that the reference dis-tance, determined in accordance withparagraph (b)(1)(i) of this section,equals or exceeds 6 kilometers.

(b) Maximum limits. (1) Except for sta-tions located in Puerto Rico or the Vir-gin Islands, the maximum ERP in anydirection, reference HAAT, and dis-tance to the class contour for each FMstation class are listed below:

(i) The reference distance of a stationis obtained by finding the predicteddistance to the 1mV/m contour using


118

47 CFR Ch. I (10–1–96 Edition)§ 73.212

Figure 1 of § 73.333 and then rounding tothe nearest kilometer. Antenna HAATis determined using the procedure in§ 73.313. If the HAAT so determined isless than 30 meters (100 feet), a HAATof 30 meters must be used when findingthe predicted distance to the 1 mV/mcontour.

(ii) If a station’s ERP is equal to themaximum for its class, its antennaHAAT must not exceed the referenceHAAT, regardless of the reference dis-tance. For example, a Class A stationoperating with 6 kW ERP may have anantenna HAAT of 100 meters, but not101 meters, even though the referencedistance is 28 km in both cases.

(iii) Except as provided in paragraph(b)(3) of this section, no station will beauthorized in Zone I or I–A with anERP equal to 50 kW and a HAAT ex-ceeding 150 meters. No station will beauthorized in Zone II with an ERPequal to 100 kW and a HAAT exceeding600 meters.

(2) If a station has an antenna HAATgreater than the reference HAAT forits class, its ERP must be lower thanthe class maximum such that the ref-erence distance does not exceed theclass contour distance. If the antennaHAAT is so great that the station’sERP must be lower than the minimumERP for its class (specified in para-graphs (a)(1) and (a)(3) of this section),that lower ERP will become the mini-mum for that station.

(3) For stations located in PuertoRico or the Virgin Islands, the maxi-mum ERP in any direction, referenceHAAT, and distance to the class con-tour for each FM station class are list-ed below:

§ 73.213 Grandfathered short-spacedstations.

(a) Stations at locations authorizedprior to November 16, 1964 that did notmeet the separation distances requiredby § 73.207 and have remained short-spaced since that time may be modifiedor relocated provided that the pre-dicted distance to the 1 mV/m fieldstrength contour is not extended to-ward the 1 mV/m field strength contourof any short-spaced station. Mutual in-crease in the facilities of such stationsup to the limits set forth in § 73.211may be permitted pursuant to anagreement between the affected sta-tions and a showing of public interest.See § 73.4235.

(b) Stations at locations authorizedprior to May 17, 1989, that did not meetthe IF separation distances required by

(c) Short spacings involving at leastone Class A allotment or authoriza-tion. Stations that became shortspaced on or after November 16, 1964(including stations that do not meetthe minimum distance separation re-quirements of paragraph (c)(1) of thissection and that propose to maintainor increase their existing distance sep-arations) may be modified or relocatedin accordance with paragraph (c)(1) or(c)(2) of this section, except that thisprovision does not apply to stationsthat became short spaced by grant ofapplications filed after October 1, 1989,or filed pursuant to § 73.215. If the ref-erence coordinates of an allotment areshort spaced to an authorized facilityor another allotment (as a result of therevision of § 73.207 in the Second Reportand Order in MM Docket No. 88–375), anapplication for the allotment may beauthorized, and subsequently modifiedafter grant, in accordance with para-graph (c)(1) or (c)(2) of this section onlywith respect to such short spacing. Noother stations will be authorized pursu-ant to these paragraphs.

(1) Applications for authorization underrequirements equivalent to those of priorrules. Each application for authority tooperate a Class A station with no morethan 3000 watts ERP and 100 meters an-tenna HAAT (or equivalent lower ERPand higher antenna HAAT based on aclass contour distance of 24 km) mustspecify a transmitter site that meetsthe minimum distance separation re-quirements in this paragraph. Each ap-plication for authority to operate aClass A station with more than 3000watts ERP (up to a maximum of 5800watts), but with an antenna HAATlower than 100 meters such that thedistance to the predicted 0.05 mV/m (34dBµV/m) F(50,10) field strength contourdoes not exceed 98 km must specify atransmitter site that meets the mini-mum distance separation requirementsin this paragraph. Each application forauthority to operate an FM station ofany class other than Class A mustspecify a transmitter site that meetsthe minimum distance separation re-quirements in this paragraph with re-spect to Class A stations operating pur-suant to this paragraph or paragraph(c)(2) of this section, and that meetsthe minimum distance separation re-quirements of § 73.207 with respect toall other stations.

Eachapplication to operate a Class A sta-tion with an ERP and HAAT such thatthe reference distance would exceed 24kilometers must contain an exhibitdemonstrating the consent of the li-censee of each co-channel, first, secondor third adjacent channel station (forwhich the requirements of § 73.207 arenot met) to a grant of that application.Each such application must specify atransmitter site that meets the appli-

cable IF-related channel distance sepa-ration requirements of § 73.207. Applica-tions that specify a new transmittersite which is short-spaced to an FMstation other than another Class A sta-tion which is seeking a mutual in-crease in facilities may be granted onlyif no alternative fully-spaced site orless short-spaced site is available. Li-censees of Class A stations seeking mu-tual increases in facilities need notshow that a fully spaced site or less

§ 73.215 Contour protection for short-spaced assignments.

The Commission will accept applica-tions that specify short-spaced antennalocations (locations that do not meetthe domestic co-channel and adjacentchannel minimum distance separationrequirements of § 73.207); ProvidedThat, such applications propose con-tour protection, as defined in para-graph (a) of this section, with all short-spaced assignments, applications andallotments, and meet the other appli-cable requirements of this section.Each application to be processed pursu-ant to this section must specifically re-quest such processing on its face, andmust include the necessary exhibit todemonstrate that the requisite contourprotection will be provided. Such appli-cations may be granted when the Com-mission determines that such actionwould serve the public interest, con-venience, and necessity.

(a) Contour protection. Contour pro-tection, for the purpose of this section,means that on the same channel and onthe first, second and third adjacentchannels, the predicted interfering con-tours of the proposed station do notoverlap the predicted protected con-tours of other short-spaced assign-ments, applications and allotments,and the predicted interfering contoursof other short-spaced assignments, ap-plications and allotments do not over-lap the predicted protected contour ofthe proposed station.

(1) The protected contours, for thepurpose of this section, are defined asfollows. For all Class B and B1 stationson Channels 221 through 300 inclusive,the F(50,50) field strengths along theprotected contours are 0.5 mV/m (54dBµ) and 0.7 mV/m (57 dBµ), respec-tively. For all other stations, theF(50,50) field strength along the pro-tected contour is 1.0 mV/m (60 dBµ).

(2) The interfering contours, for thepurpose of this section, are defined as

follows. For co-channel stations, theF(50,10) field strength along the inter-fering contour is 20 dB lower than theF(50,50) field strength along the pro-tected contour for which overlap is pro-hibited. For first adjacent channel sta-tions (±200 kHz), the F(50,10) fieldstrength along the interfering contouris 6 dB lower than the F(50,50) fieldstrength along the protected contourfor which overlap is prohibited. Forboth second and third adjacent channelstations (±400 kHz and ±600 kHz), theF(50,10) field strength along the inter-fering contour is 40 dB higher than theF(50,50) field strength along the pro-tected contour for which overlap is pro-hibited.

(3) The locations of the protected andinterfering contours of the proposedstation and the other short-spaced as-signments, applications and allotmentsmust be determined in accordance withthe procedures of paragraphs (c), (d)(2)and (d)(3) of § 73.313, using data for asmany radials as necessary to accu-rately locate the contours.

(4) Stations in Puerto Rico and theVirgin Islands may submit applicationfor short-spaced locations provided thepredicted distance to their 1 mV/mfield strength contour is not extendedtoward the 1 mV/m field strength con-tour of any short-spaced station.

(b) Applicants requesting short-spaced assignments pursuant to thissection must take into account the fol-lowing factors in demonstrating thatcontour protection is achieved:

(1) The ERP and antenna HAAT ofthe proposed station in the direction ofthe contours of other short-spaced as-signments, applications and allot-ments. If a directional antenna is pro-posed, the pattern of that antennamust be used to calculate the ERP inparticular directions. See § 73.316 foradditional requirements for directionalantennas.

(2) The ERP and antenna HAAT ofother short-spaced assignments, appli-cations and allotments in the directionof the contours of the proposed station.The ERP and antenna HAATs in the di-rections of concern must be determinedas follows:

(i) For vacant allotments, contoursare based on the presumed use, at theallotment’s reference point, of the


121


maximum ERP that could be author-ized for the station class of the allot-ment, and antenna HAATs in the direc-tions of concern that would result froma non-directional antenna mounted ata standard eight-radial antenna HAATequal to the reference HAAT for thestation class of the allotment.

(ii) For existing stations that werenot authorized pursuant to this sec-tion, including stations with author-ized ERP that exceeds the maximumERP permitted by § 73.211 for the stand-ard eight-radial antenna HAAT em-ployed, and for applications not re-questing authorization pursuant tothis section, contours are based on thepresumed use of the maximum ERP forthe applicable station class (as speci-fied in § 73.211), and the antenna HAATsin the directions of concern that wouldresult from a non-directional antennamounted at a standard eight-radial an-tenna HAAT equal to the referenceHAAT for the applicable station class,without regard to any other restric-tions that may apply (e.g. zoning laws,FAA constraints, application of§ 73.213).

(iii) For stations authorized pursuantto this section, except stations withauthorized ERP that exceeds the maxi-mum ERP permitted by § 73.211 for thestandard eight-radial antenna HAATemployed, contours are based on theuse of the authorized ERP in the direc-tions of concern, and HAATs in the di-rections of concern derived from theauthorized standard eight-radial an-tenna HAAT. For stations with author-ized ERP that exceeds the maximumERP permitted by § 73.211 for the stand-ard eight-radial antenna HAAT em-ployed, authorized under this section,contours are based on the presumed useof the maximum ERP for the applica-ble station class (as specified in§ 73.211), and antenna HAATs in the di-rections of concern that would resultfrom a non-directional antenna mount-ed at a standard eight-radial antennaHAAT equal to the reference HAAT forthe applicable station class, withoutregard to any other restrictions thatmay apply.

(iv) For applications containing a re-quest for authorization pursuant tothis section, except for applications tocontinue operation with authorized

ERP that exceeds the maximum ERPpermitted by § 73.211 for the standardeight-radial antenna HAAT employed,contours are based on the use of theproposed ERP in the directions of con-cern, and antenna HAATs in the direc-tions of concern derived from the pro-posed standard eight-radial antennaHAAT. For applications to continueoperation with an ERP that exceedsthe maximum ERP permitted by§ 73.211 for the standard eight-radialHAAT employed, if processing is re-quested under this section, contoursare based on the presumed use of themaximum ERP for the applicable sta-tion class (as specified in § 73.211), andantenna HAATs in the directions ofconcern that would result from a non-directional antenna mounted at astandard eight-radial antenna HAATequal to the reference HAAT for theapplicable station class, without regardto any other restrictions that mayapply.

NOTE TO PARAGRAPH (b): Applicants arecautioned that the antenna HAAT in anyparticular direction of concern will not usu-ally be the same as the standard eight-radialantenna HAAT or the reference HAAT forthe station class.

(c) Applications submitted for proc-essing pursuant to this section are notrequired to propose contour protectionof any assignment, application or allot-ment for which the minimum distanceseparation requirements of § 73.207 aremet, and may, in the directions ofthose assignments, applications and al-lotments, employ the maximum ERPpermitted by § 73.211 for the standardeight-radial antenna HAAT employed.

(d) Stations authorized pursuant tothis section may be subsequently au-thorized on the basis of compliancewith the domestic minimum separationdistance requirements of § 73.207, uponfiling of an FCC Form 301 or FCC Form340 (as appropriate) requesting a modi-fication of authorization.

(e) The Commission will not acceptapplications that specify a short-spaced antenna location for which thefollowing minimum distance separa-tion requirements, in kilometers(miles), are not met:

§ 73.258 Indicating instruments.(a) Each FM broadcast station shall

be equipped with indicating instru-ments which conform with the speci-fications described in § 73.1215 for deter-mining power by the indirect method;for indicating the relative amplitude ofthe transmission line radio frequencycurrent, voltage, or power; and with


123


such other instruments as are nec-essary for the proper adjustment, oper-ation, and maintenance of the trans-mitting system.

(b) The function of each instrumentshall be clearly and permanentlyshown in the instrument itself or onthe panel immediately adjacent there-to.

(c) In the event that any one of theseindicating instruments becomes defec-tive when no substitute which con-forms with the required specificationsis available, the station may be oper-ated without the defective instrumentpending its repair or replacement for aperiod not in excess of 60 days withoutfurther authority of the FCC: Providedthat, if the defective instrument is thetransmission line meter of a stationwhich determines the output power bythe direct method, the operating powershall be determined by the indirectmethod in accordance with § 73.267(c)during the entire time the station isoperated without the transmission linemeter.

(d) If conditions beyond the controlof the licensee prevent the restorationof the meter to service within theabove allowed period, informal requestin accordance with § 73.3549 may befiled with the Engineer in Charge ofthe radio district in which the stationis located for such additional time asmay be required to complete repairs ofthe defective instrument.

§ 73.267 Determining operating power.(a) The operating power of each FM

station is to be determined by eitherthe direct or indirect method.

(b) Direct method. The direct methodof power determination for an FM sta-tion uses the indications of a cali-brated transmission line meter (respon-sive to relative voltage, current, orpower) located at the RF output termi-nals of the transmitter. This metermust be calibrated whenever there isany indication that the calibration isinaccurate or whenever any componentof the metering circuit is repaired orreplaced. The calibration must cover,as a minimum, the range from 90% to105% of authorized power. The meter

calibration may be checked by measur-ing the power at the transmitter termi-nals while either:

(1) Operating the transmitter intothe transmitting antenna, and deter-mining actual operating power by theindirect method described in § 73.267(c);or

(2) Operating the transmitter into aload (of substantially zero reactanceand a resistance equal to the trans-mission line characteristic impedance)and using an electrical device (within±5% accuracy) or temperature andcoolant flow indicator (within ±4% ac-curacy) to determine the power.

(3) The calibration must cover, as aminimum, the range from 90% to 105%of authorized power and the metermust provide clear indications whichwill permit maintaining the operatingpower within the prescribed toleranceor the meter shall be calibrated to readdirectly in power units.

(c) Indirect method. The operatingpower is determined by the indirectmethod by applying an appropriate fac-tor to the input power to the lastradio-frequency power amplifier stageof the transmitter, using the followingformula:

Transmitter output power=Ep x Ip x F

Where:

Ep=DC input voltage of final radio stage.Ip=Total DC input current of final radio

stage.F=Efficiency factor.

§ 73.312 Topographic data.(a) In the preparation of the profile

graphs previously described, and in de-termining the location and heightabove mean sea level of the antennasite, the elevation or contour intervalsshall be taken from United States Geo-logical Survey Topographic QuadrangleMaps, United States Army Corps of En-gineers Maps or Tennessee Valley Au-thority maps, whichever is the latest,for all areas for which such maps areavailable. If such maps are not pub-lished for the area in question, the nextbest topographic information should beused. Topographic data may sometimesbe obtained from state and municipalagencies. The data from the SectionalAeronautical Charts (including benchmarks) or railroad depot elevations andhighway elevations from road mapsmay be used where no better informa-tion is available. In cases where lim-ited topographic data can be obtained,

use may be made of an altimeter in acar driven along roads extending gen-erally radially from the transmittersite.

(b) The Commission will not ordi-narily require the submission of typo-graphical maps for areas beyond 24 km(15 miles) from the antenna site, butthe maps must include the principalcity or cities to be served. If it appearsnecessary additional data may be re-quested.

(c) The U.S. Geological Survey To-pography Quadrangle Sheets may beobtained from the U.S. Geological Sur-vey Department of the Interior, Wash-ington, DC 20240. The Sectional Aero-nautical Charts are available from theU.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, De-partment of Commerce, Washington,DC 20235. These maps may also be se-cured from branch offices and from au-thorized agents or dealers in most prin-cipal cities.

(d) In lieu of maps, the average ter-rain elevation may be computer gen-erated except in cases of dispute, usingelevations from a 30 second, point orbetter topographic data file. The filemust be identified and the data proc-essed for intermediate points alongeach radial using linear interpolationtechniques. The height above mean sealevel of the antenna site must be ob-tained manually using appropriatetopographic maps.

§ 73.313 Prediction of coverage.(a) All predictions of coverage made

pursuant to this section shall be madewithout regard to interference andshall be made only on the basis of esti-mated field strengths.

(b) Predictions of coverage shall bemade only for the same purposes as re-late to the use of field strength con-tours as specified in § 73.311.

(c) In predicting the distance to thefield strength contours, the F(50,50)field strength chart, Figure 1 of § 73.333must be used. The 50% field strength isdefined as that value exceeded for 50%of the time.

(1) The F(50,50) chart gives the esti-mated 50% field strengths exceeded at50% of the locations in dB above 1 uV/


128

47 CFR Ch. I (10–1–96 Edition)§ 73.313

m. The chart is based on an effectivepower radiated from a half-wave dipoleantenna in free space, that produces anunattenuated field strength at 1 kilo-meter of about 107 dB above 1 uV/m(221.4 mV/m).

(2) To use the chart for other ERPvalues, convert the ordinate scale bythe appropriate adjustment in dB. Forexample, the ordinate scale for an ERPof 50 kW (17 dBk) should be adjusted by17 dB and, therefore, a field strength of40 dBu would be converted to 57 dBu.When predicting the distance to fieldstrength contours, use the maximumERP of the main radiated lobe in thepertinent azimuthal direction. Whenpredicting field strengths over areasnot in the plane of the maximum mainlobe, use the ERP in the direction ofsuch areas, determined by consideringthe appropriate vertical radiation pat-tern.

(d) The antenna height to be usedwith this chart is the height of the ra-diation center of the antenna above theaverage terrain along the radial inquestion. In determining the averageelevation of the terrain, the elevationsbetween 3 and 16 kilometers from theantenna site are used.

(1) Profile graphs must be drawn foreight radials beginning at the antennasite and extending 16 kilometers there-from. The radials should be drawn foreach 45° of azimuth starting with TrueNorth. At least one radial must includethe principal community to be servedeven though it may be more than 16kilometers from the antenna site. How-ever, in the event none of the evenlyspaced radials include the principalcommunity to be served, and one ormore such radials are drawn in addi-tion, these radials must not be used incomputing the antenna height aboveaverage terrain.

(2) Where the 3 to 16 kilometers por-tion of a radial extends in whole or inpart over a large body of water or ex-tends over foreign territory but the 50uV/m contour encompasses land areawithin the United States beyond the 16kilometers portion of the radial, theentire 3 to 16 kilometers portion of theradial must be included in the com-putation of antenna height above aver-age terrain. However, where the 50 uV/m contour does not so encompass Unit-

ed States land area and (i) the entire 3to 16 kilometers portion of the radialextends over large bodies of water orforeign territory, such radial must becompletely omitted from the computa-tion of antenna height above averageterrain, and (ii) where a part of the 3 to16 kilometers portion of a radial ex-tends over large bodies of water or for-eign territory, only that part of the ra-dial extending from the 3 kilometerssector to the outermost portion of landarea within the United States coveredby the radial must be used in the com-putation of antenna height above aver-age terrain.

(3) The profile graph for each radialshould be plotted by contour intervalsof from 12 to 30 meters and, where thedata permits, at least 50 points of ele-vation (generally uniformly spaced)should be used for each radial. In in-stances of very rugged terrain wherethe use of contour intervals of 30 me-ters would result in several points in ashort distance, 60 or 120 meter contourintervals may be used for such dis-tances. On the other hand, where theterrain is uniform or gently sloping thesmallest contour interval indicated onthe topographic map should be used, al-though only relatively few points maybe available. The profile graph shouldindicate the topography accurately foreach radial, and the graphs should beplotted with the distance in kilometersas the abscissa and the elevation inmeters above mean sea level as the or-dinate. The profile graphs should indi-cate the source of the topographicaldata used. The graph should also showthe elevation of the center of the radi-ating system. The graph may be plot-ted either on rectangular coordinatepaper or on special paper that showsthe curvature of the earth. It is notnecessary to take the curvature of theearth into consideration in this proce-dure as this factor is taken care of inthe charts showing signal strengths.The average elevation of the 13 kilo-meter distance between 3 and 16 kilo-meters from the antenna site shouldthen be determined from the profilegraph for each radial. This may be ob-tained by averaging a large number ofequally spaced points, by using a pla-nimeter, or by obtaining the medianelevation (that exceeded for 50% of the


129


distance) in sectors and averagingthose values.

(4) Examples of HAAT calculations:(i) The heights above average terrain

on the eight radials are as follows:

Meters

0° ............................................................................. 12045° ........................................................................... 25590° ........................................................................... 185135° ......................................................................... 90180° ......................................................................... ¥10225° ......................................................................... ¥85270° ......................................................................... 40315° ......................................................................... 85

The antenna height above terrain(defined in § 73.310(a)) is computed asfollows:

(120+255+185+90¥10¥85+40+85)/8=85 meters.

(ii) Same as paragraph (d)(4)(i) of thissection, except the 0° radial is entirelyover sea water. The antenna heightabove average terrain is computed asfollows (note that the divisor is 7 not8):

(255+185+90¥10¥85+40+85)/7=80 meters.

(iii) Same as paragraph (d)(4)(i) ofthis section, except that only the first10 kilometers of the 90° radial are inthe United States; beyond 10 kilo-meters the 90° radial is in a foreigncountry. The height above average ter-rain of the 3 to 10 kilometer portion ofthe 90° radial is 105 meters. The an-tenna height above average terrain iscomputed as follows (note that the di-visor is 8 not 7.5):

(120+255+105+90¥10¥85+40+85)/8=75 meters.

(e) In cases where the terrain in oneor more directions from the antennasite departs widely from the averageelevation of the 3 to 16 kilometer sec-tor, the prediction method may indi-cate contour distances that are dif-ferent from what may be expected inpractice. For example, a mountainridge may indicate the practical limitof service although the predictionmethod may indicate otherwise. Insuch cases, the prediction methodshould be followed, but a supplementalshowing may be made concerning thecontour distances as determined byother means. Such supplementalshowings should describe the procedure

used and should include sample cal-culations. Maps of predicted coverageshould include both the coverage aspredicted by the regular method and aspredicted by a supplemental method.When measurements of area are re-quired, these should include the areaobtained by the regular predictionmethod and the area obtained by thesupplemental method. In directionswhere the terrain is such that antennaheights less than 30 meters for the 3 to16 kilometer sector are obtained, an as-sumed height of 30 meters must be usedfor the prediction of coverage. How-ever, where the actual contour dis-tances are critical factors, a supple-mental showing of expected coveragemust be included together with a de-scription of the method used in predict-ing such coverage. In special cases, theFCC may require additional informa-tion as to terrain and coverage.

(f) The effect of terrain roughness onthe predicted field strength of a signalat points distant from an FM transmit-ting antenna is assumed to depend onthe magnitude of a terrain roughnessfactor (h) which, for a specific propaga-tion path, is determined by the charac-teristics of a segment of the terrainprofile for that path 40 kilometers inlength located between 10 and 50 kilo-meters from the antenna. The terrainroughness factor has a value equal tothe distance, in meters, between ele-vations exceeded by all points on theprofile for 10% and 90% respectively, ofthe length of the profile segment. (See§ 73.333, Figure 4.)

(g) If the lowest field strength valueof interest is initially predicted tooccur over a particular propagationpath at a distance that is less than 50kilometers from the antenna, the ter-rain profile segment used in the deter-mination of terrain roughness factorover that path must be that includedbetween points 10 kilometers from thetransmitter and such lesser distances.No terrain roughness correction needbe applied when all field strength val-ues of interest are predicted to occur 10kilometers or less from the transmit-ting antenna.

(h) Profile segments prepared for ter-rain roughness factor determinations


130

47 CFR Ch. I (10–1–96 Edition)§ 73.314

are to be plotted in rectangular coordi-nates, with no less than 50 points even-ly spaced within the segment usingdata obtained from topographic mapswith contour intervals of approxi-mately 15 meters (50 feet) or less ifavailable.

(i) The field strength charts (§ 73.333,Figs. 1–1a) were developed assuming aterrain roughness factor of 50 meters,which is considered to be representa-tive of average terrain in the UnitedStates. Where the roughness factor fora particular propagation path is foundto depart appreciably from this value,a terrain roughness correction (∆F)should be applied to field strength val-ues along this path, as predicted withthe use of these charts. The magnitudeand sign of this correction, for anyvalue of ∆h, may be determined from achart included in § 73.333 as Figure 5.

(j) Alternatively, the terrain rough-ness correction may be computed usingthe following formula:

∆F=1.9¥0.03(∆h)(1+f/300)Where:

∆F=terrain roughness correction in dB∆k=terrain roughness factor in metersf=frequency of signal in MHz (MHz)

§ 73.314 Field strength measurements.(a) Except as provided for in § 73.209,

FM broadcast stations shall not be pro-tected from any type of interference orpropagation effect. Persons desiring tosubmit testimony, evidence or data tothe Commission for the purpose ofshowing that the technical standardscontained in this subpart do not prop-erly reflect the levels of any given typeof interference or propagation effectmay do so only in appropriate rulemaking proceedings concerning theamendment of such technical stand-ards. Persons making field strengthmeasurements for formal submission tothe Commission in rule making pro-ceedings, or making such measure-ments upon the request of the Commis-

sion, shall follow the procedure formaking and reporting such measure-ments outlined in paragraph (b) of thissection. In instances where a showingof the measured level of a signal pre-vailing over a specific community isappropriate, the procedure for makingand reporting field strength measure-ments for this purpose is set forth inparagraph (c) of this section.

(b) Collection of field strength datafor propagation analysis.

(1) Preparation for measurements. (i)On large scale topographic maps, eightor more radials are drawn from thetransmitter location to the maximumdistance at which measurements are tobe made, with the angles included be-tween adjacent radials of approxi-mately equal size. Radials should beoriented so as to traverse representa-tive types of terrain. The specific num-ber of radials and their orientationshould be such as to accomplish thisobjective.

(ii) Each radial is marked, at a pointexactly 16 kilometers from the trans-mitter and, at greater distances, atsuccessive 3 kilometer intervals. Wheremeasurements are to be conducted overextremely rugged terrain, shorter in-tervals may be used, but all such inter-vals must be of equal length. Acces-sible roads intersecting each radial asnearly as possible at each 3 kilometermarker are selected. These intersec-tions are the points on the radial atwhich measurements are to be made,and are referred to subsequently asmeasuring locations. The elevation ofeach measuring location should ap-proach the elevation at the correspond-ing 3 kilometer marker as nearly aspossible.

(2) Measurement procedure. All meas-urements must be made utilizing a re-ceiving antenna designed for receptionof the horizontally polarized signalcomponent, elevated 9 meters abovethe roadbed. At each measuring loca-tion, the following procedure must beused:

(i) The instrument calibration ischecked.

(ii) The antenna is elevated to aheight of 9 meters.

(iii) The receiving antenna is rotatedto determine if the strongest signal is


131


arriving from the direction of thetransmitter.

(iv) The antenna is oriented so thatthe sector of its response pattern overwhich maximum gain is realized is inthe direction of the transmitter.

(v) A mobile run of at least 30 metersis made, that is centered on the inter-section of the radial and the road, andthe measured field strength is continu-ously recorded on a chart recorder overthe length of the run.

(vi) The actual measuring location ismarked exactly on the topographicmap, and a written record, keyed tothe specific location, is made of all fac-tors which may affect the recordedfield, such as topography, height andtypes of vegetation, buildings, obsta-cles, weather, and other local features.

(vii) If, during the test conducted asdescribed in paragraph (b)(2)(iii) of thissection, the strongest signal is found tocome from a direction other than fromthe transmitter, after the mobile runprescribed in paragraph (b)(2)(v) of thissection is concluded, additional meas-urements must be made in a ‘‘cluster’’of at least five fixed points. At eachsuch point, the field strengths with theantenna oriented toward the transmit-ter, and with the antenna oriented soas to receive the strongest field, aremeasured and recorded. Generally, allpoints should be within 60 meters ofthe center point of the mobile run.

(viii) If overhead obstacles preclude amobile run of at least 30 meters, a‘‘cluster’’ of five spot measurementsmay be made in lieu of this run. Thefirst measurement in the cluster isidentified. Generally, the locations forother measurements must be within 60meters of the location of the first.

47 CFR Ch. I (10–1–96 Edition)§ 73.315

(ii) The number of locations at whichmeasurements are to be made shall beat least 15, and shall be approximatelyequal to 0.1(P)1/2, if this product is anumber greater than 15.

(iii) A rectangular grid, of such sizeand shape as to encompass the bound-aries of the community is drawn on anaccurate map of the community. Thenumber of line intersections on thegrid included within the boundaries ofthe community shall be at least equalto the required number of measuringlocations.

(2) Measurement procedure. All meas-urements must be made using a receiv-ing antenna designed for reception ofthe horizontally polarized signal com-ponent, elevated 9 meters above groundlevel.

(i) Each measuring location shall bechosen as close as feasible to a pointindicated on the map, as previouslyprepared, and at as nearly the sameelevation as that point as possible.

(ii) At each measuring location, afterequipment calibration and elevation ofthe antenna, a check is made to deter-mine whether the strongest signal ar-rives from a direction other than fromthe transmitter.

§ 73.315 FM transmitter location.

(a) The transmitter location shall bechosen so that, on the basis of the ef-fective radiated power and antennaheight above average terrain employed,a minimum field strength of 70 dBabove one uV/m (dBu), or 3.16 mV/m,will be provided over the entire prin-cipal community to be served.


133


NOTE: The requirements of paragraph (a) ofthis section do not apply to noncommercialeducational FM broadcast stations operatingon reserved channels. (Channels 200 through220)

(b) The transmitter location shouldbe chosen to maximize coverage to thecity of license while minimizing inter-ference. This is normally accomplishedby locating in the least populated areaavailable while maintaining the provi-sions of paragraph (a) of this section.In general, the transmitting antenna ofa station should be located in the mostsparsely populated area available atthe highest elevation available. The lo-cation of the antenna should be so cho-sen that line-of-sight can be obtainedfrom the antenna over the principlecity or cities to be served; in no eventshould there be a major obstruction inthis path.

(c) The transmitting location shouldbe selected so that the 1 mV/m contourencompasses the urban populationwithin the area to be served. It is rec-ognized that topography, shape of thedesired service area, and populationdistribution may make the choice of atransmitter location difficult. In suchcases consideration may be given tothe use of a directional antenna sys-tem, although it is generally preferableto choose a site where a nondirectionalantenna may be employed.

(d) In cases of questionable antennalocations it is desirable to conductpropagation tests to indicate the fieldstrength expected in the principal cityor cities to be served and in otherareas, particularly where severe shad-ow problems may be expected. In con-sidering applications proposing the useof such locations, the Commission mayrequire site tests to be made. Suchtests should include measurementsmade in accordance with the measure-ment procedures described in § 73.314,and full data thereon shall be suppliedto the Commission. The test transmit-ter should employ an antenna having aheight as close as possible to the pro-posed antenna height, using a balloonor other support if necessary and fea-sible. Information concerning the au-thorization of site tests may be ob-tained from the Commission upon re-quest.

(e) Cognizance must of course betaken regarding the possible hazard ofthe proposed antenna structure toaviation and the proximity of the pro-posed site to airports and airways. Pro-cedures and standards with respect tothe Commission’s consideration of pro-posed antenna structures which willserve as a guide to persons intending toapply for radio station licenses are con-tained in Part 17 of this chapter (Con-struction, Marking, and Lighting ofAntenna Structures).

§ 73.316 FM antenna systems.

(a) It shall be standard to employhorizontal polarization; however, cir-cular or elliptical polarization may beemployed if desired. Clockwise or coun-terclockwise rotation may be used. Thesupplemental vertically polarized effec-tive radiated power required for cir-cular or elliptical polarization shall inno event exceed the effective radiatedpower authorized.

(b) Directional antennas. A directionalantenna is an antenna that is designedor altered for the purpose of obtaininga non-circular radiation pattern.

(1) Applications for the use of direc-tional antennas that propose a ratio ofmaximum to minimum radiation in thehorizontal plane of more than 15 dBwill not be accepted.

(2) Directional antennas used to pro-tect short-spaced stations pursuant to§ 73.213 or § 73.215 of the rules, that havea radiation pattern which varies morethan 2 dB per 10 degrees of azimuth willnot be authorized.

(c) Applications for directional anten-nas. Applications proposing the use ofdirectional antenna systems must beaccompanied by the following:

(1) A complete description of the pro-posed antenna system, including themanufacturer and model number of theproposed directional antenna. It is notsufficient to label the antenna withonly a generic term such as ‘‘dipole’’. A


134

47 CFR Ch. I (10–1–96 Edition)§ 73.316

specific model number must be pro-vided. In the case of individually de-signed antennas with no model num-ber, or in the case of a composite an-tenna composed of two or more individ-ual antennas, the antenna must be de-scribed as a ‘‘custom’’ or ‘‘composite’’antenna, as appropriate. A full descrip-tion of the design of the antenna mustalso be submitted.

(2) A relative field horizontal planepattern of the proposed directional an-tenna. A single pattern encompassingboth the horizontal and vertical polar-ization is required, rather than sepa-rate patterns for horizontal and verti-cal polarization. A value of 1.0 must beused to correspond to the direction ofmaximum radiation. The plot of thepattern must be oriented such that 0°corresponds to the direction of maxi-mum radiation or alternatively, in thecase of an asymmetrical antenna pat-tern, the plot must be oriented suchthat 0° corresponds to the actual azi-muth with respect to true North. Thehorizontal plane pattern must be plot-ted to the largest scale possible onunglazed letter-size polar coordinatepaper (main engraving approximately18 cm x 25 cm (7 inches x 10 inches))using only scale divisions and subdivi-sions of 1, 2, 2.5, or 5 times 10-nth. Val-ues of field strength less than 10% ofthe maximum field strength plotted onthat pattern must be shown on an en-larged scale. In the case of a compositeantenna composed of two or more indi-vidual antennas, the pattern requiredis that for the composite antenna, notthe patterns for each of the individualantennas.

(3) A tabulation of the relative fieldpattern required in paragraph (c)(2) ofthis section. The tabulation must usethe same zero degree reference as theplotted pattern, and must contain val-ues for at least every 10°. In addition,tabulated values of all maximas andminimas, with their corresponding azi-muths, must be submitted.

(4) Sufficient vertical patterns to in-dicate clearly the radiation character-istics of the antenna above and belowthe horizontal plane. Complete infor-mation and patterns must be providedfor angles of ±10° from the horizontalplane and sufficient additional infor-mation must be included on that por-

tion of the pattern lying between +10°and the zenith and ¥10° and the nadir,to conclusively demonstrate the ab-sence of undesirable lobes in theseareas. The vertical plane pattern mustbe plotted on rectangular coordinatepaper with reference to the horizontalplane. In the case of a composite an-tenna composed of two or more individ-ual antennas, the pattern required isthat for the composite antenna, notthe patterns for each of the individualantennas.

(5) A statement that the antenna willbe mounted on the top of an antennatower recommended by the antennamanufacturer, or will be side-mountedon a particular type of antenna towerin accordance with specific instruc-tions provided by the antenna manu-facturer.

(6) A statement that the directionalantennas will not be mounted on thetop of an antenna tower which includesa top-mounted platform larger thanthe nominal cross-sectional area of thetower in the horizontal plane.

(7) A statement that no other anten-nas of any type are mounted on thesame tower level as a directional an-tenna, and that no antenna of any typeis mounted within any horizontal orvertical distance specified by the an-tenna manufacturer as being necessaryfor proper directional operation.

(8) In the case of applications for li-cense upon completion of antenna con-struction, a statement from an engi-neer (as well as a statement of the en-gineer’s qualifications) that the an-tenna has been installed pursuant tothe manufacturer’s instructions and astatement from a licensed surveyorthat the antenna is installed in theproper orientation.

(d) Applications proposing the use ofFM transmitting antennas in the im-mediate vicinity (i.e. 60 meters or less)of other FM or TV broadcast antennasmust include a showing as to the ex-pected effect, if any, of such approxi-mate operation.

(e) In cases where it is proposed touse a tower of a AM broadcast stationas a supporting structure for an FMbroadcast antenna, an application forconstruction permit (or modification ofconstruction permit) for such AM


135


broadcast station must be filed for con-sideration with the FM application,only in the event the overall height ofthe AM broadcast station towerchanges. Applications may be requiredfor other classes of stations when theirtowers are to be used in connectionwith FM stations.

(f) When an FM broadcast antenna ismounted on a nondirectional AMbroadcast antenna, new resistancemeasurements must be made of the AMbroadcast antenna after installationand testing of the FM broadcast an-tenna. During the installation anduntil the new resistance determinationis approved, the AM broadcast stationlicensee should operate by the indirectmethod of power determination. TheFM broadcast license application willnot be considered until the applicationform concerning resistance measure-ments is filed for the AM broadcaststation.

(g) When an FM broadcast antenna ismounted on an element of a AM broad-cast directional antenna, a full engi-neering study concerning the effect ofthe FM broadcast antenna on the direc-tional pattern must be filed with theapplication concerning the AM broad-cast station. Depending upon the indi-vidual case, the Commission may re-quire readjustment and certain fieldstrength measurements of the AMbroadcast station following the com-pletion of the FM broadcast antennasystem.

(h) When the proposed FM antenna isto be mounted on a tower in the vicin-ity of an AM station directional an-tenna system and it appears that theoperation of the directional antennasystem may be affected, an engineeringstudy must be filed with the FM appli-cation concerning the effect of the FMantenna on the AM directional radi-ation pattern. Field strength measure-ments of the AM station may be re-quired prior to and following construc-tion of the FM station antenna, and re-adjustments made as necessary.

(i) Information regarding data re-quired in connection with AM broad-cast directional antenna systems maybe found in § 73.150 of this chapter. (See

also AM Broadcast Technical Stand-ards.)

§ 73.317 FM transmission system re-quirements.

(a) FM broadcast stations employingtransmitters authorized after January1, 1960, must maintain the bandwidthoccupied by their emissions in accord-ance with the specification detailedbelow. FM broadcast stations employ-ing transmitters installed or type ac-cepted before January 1, 1960, mustachieve the highest degree of compli-ance with these specifications prac-ticable with their existing equipment.In either case, should harmful inter-ference to other authorized stationsoccur, the licensee shall correct theproblem promptly or cease operation.

(b) Any emission appearing on a fre-quency removed from the carrier by be-tween 120 kHz and 240 kHz inclusivemust be attenuated at least 25 dBbelow the level of the unmodulatedcarrier. Compliance with this require-ment will be deemed to show the occu-pied bandwidth to be 240 kHz or less.

(c) Any emission appearing on a fre-quency removed from the carrier bymore than 240 kHz and up to and in-cluding 600 kHz must be attenuated atleast 35 dB below the level of theunmodulated carrier.

(d) Any emission appearing on a fre-quency removed from the carrier bymore than 600 kHz must be attenuatedat least 43 + 10 Log10 (Power, in watts)dB below the level of the unmodulatedcarrier, or 80 dB, whichever is the less-er attenuation.

(e) Preemphasis shall not be greaterthan the impedance-frequency charac-teristics of a series inductance resist-ance network having a time constantof 75 microseconds. (See upper curve ofFigure 2 of § 73.333.)

§ 73.318 FM blanketing interference.Areas adjacent to the transmitting

antenna that receive a signal with astrength of 115 dBu (562 mV/m) or


136

47 CFR Ch. I (10–1–96 Edition)§ 73.319

greater will be assumed to beblanketed. In determining theblanketed area, the 115 dBu contour isdetermined by calculating the inversedistance field using the effective radi-ated power of the maximum radiatedlobe of the antenna without consider-ing its vertical radiation pattern orheight. For directional antennas, theeffective radiated power in the perti-nent bearing shall be used.

(a) The distance to the 115 dBu con-tour is determined using the followingequation:

D (in kilometers)=0.394√PD (in miles)=0.245√P

Where P is the maximum effective ra-diated power (ERP), measured in kilo-watts, of the maximum radiated lobe.

(b) After January 1, 1985, permitteesor licensees who either (1) commenceprogram tests, or (2) replace their an-tennas, or (3) request facilities modi-fications and are issued a new con-struction permit must satisfy all com-plaints of blanketing interferencewhich are received by the station dur-ing a one year period. The period be-gins with the commencement of pro-gram tests, or commencement of pro-gramming utilizing the new antenna.Resolution of complaints shall be at nocost to the complainant. These require-ments specifically do not include inter-ference complaints resulting from mal-functioning or mistuned receivers, im-properly installed antenna systems, orthe use of high gain antennas or an-tenna booster amplifiers. Mobile re-ceivers and non-RF devices such astape recorders or hi-fi amplifiers (pho-nographs) are also excluded.

(c) A permittee collocating with oneor more existing stations and begin-ning program tests on or after January1, 1985, must assume full financial re-sponsibility for remedying new com-plaints of blanketing interference for aperiod of one year. Two or more per-mittees that concurrently collocate onor after January 1, 1985, shall assumeshared responsibility for remedyingblanketing complaints within the blan-keting area unless an offending stationcan be readily determined and thenthat station shall assume full financialresponsibility.

(d) Following the one year period offull financial obligation to satisfyblanketing complaints, licensees shallprovide technical information or as-sistance to complainants on remediesfor blanketing interference.
