[grc] [Stubblefield] Translator IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT to my LPFM- that is SILENT

[Michelle Bradley]

WONA is in the process of being sold.   The proposed assignee applied 
for the translator (which is perfectly legal).   The new owner should be 
given a chance to put the station back on the air.

That translator is running directional and is putting about 8 watts 
along the bearing towards WRWK-LP.

The translator is at 103 meters HAAT.  If the facility going there was a 
non-directional LPFM and not a directional translator, it would be 
authorized 8 watts ERP.

That translator is located 16.5 km from WRWK-LP.  The minimum distance 
separation between two LPFM stations on first-adjacent channels is 14 km.

If that translator was really a properly spaced first-adjacent channel 
LPFM station, would we still be complaining about it?

If you have established listeners within the 60 dBu contour of the 
translator, once this application gets accepted for filing, you can file 
a petition to deny citing the translator interference rules.    It looks 
like the translator is a singleton so it may not be too long.
