[grc] [Stubblefield] Internet threat to STL 900 Mhz band

[Spencer Graves]

       What is this, how might it impact KKFI.org (90.1 FM, Kansas 
City), and how might I go about getting more information on it?


       In particular, KKFI has a Studio to Transmitter Link (STL) that 
includes microwave antennae on the roof of the building holding our 
studio and another one close to the top of our tower almost 6 miles 
away.  Am I correct that we have some flexibility regarding which 
specific frequency (or frequencies) we use?  Are all those options in 
the 900 MHz band?  And how might I find out which specific frequency we 
are using at a particular time?


       Thanks,
       Spencer Graves
       Secretary, KKFI.org
