BEFORE FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION, Washington D.C.
matter RM-9419 allow certain licensees able operate translators.
COMMENTS filing these comments oppose American Community Broadcasters Association's (ACAMBA) petition. This petition calls broadcasters which meets certain power
qualifications have station same market able obtain translators order provide nighttime service. service (formerly known Standard Broadcasting Service) been existence since 1920's. original stations were only licensed frequencies. Stations were subject interference. interference caused co-channel stations, more channels were created. generation, spearheaded expansion broadcast band 1700kHz effort reduce interference. bottom line that interference reality. When licensee originally granted their broadcast license, they should have known their station subject nighttime interference. Back 80's, broadcasters hung themselves demanding that additional stations given nighttime authority designated clear-channel frequencies. example, here Phoenix, have station 740kHz. This station used daytime only station back when KMEO(AM). station unlimited authority with reduced power directional antenna. station heard miles away because interference from KCBS(AM), Francisco. reason, 740kHz clear channel. There really need this station Phoenix operating night 740kHz. allowing stations operate translators, granting them service area that they were entitled first place. also this petition attempt allow stations allowed simulcast practice that thought banned many years band would able diverse from when primary broadcasting band. Allowing
stations operate translators would give these stations unfair advantage over their higher powered counterparts. Commission currently considering RM-9208 RM-9242 which would permit licensing Power (LPFM) stations. action this petition should stayed until RM-9208 RM-9242 proceedings completed. community should look other methods extending their nighttime service. These could include petitioning Commission allow synchronous operation stations same channel possibility migrating lower power broadcast stations channels (such 1235, 1245, 1255, 1265, etc.). This currently being done some stations Caribbean. would support this petition Commission would consider previous petition allow LPFM stations (undocketed proceeding) frequencies 82-88MHz band where NTSC Channel operation. These stations also apply channels this band. oppose position ACAMBA takes arbitrarily relocating non-commercial translators carrying satellite-fed programming another channel between 201-220. This tells that ACAMBA asking something more than secondary status their translator stations. While don't approve these non-commercial satellite-fed translators, have defend their secondary allocation their licensed channel. conclusion, lower powered stations were designed provide daytime service local listeners during prime listening hours while clear channel stations provided nighttime service over wide area. These stations knew this when they were issued their licenses. There have been interference problems since KDKA 1922. Commission should look alternatives such synchronous operation (which works channeling (which works Caribbean). Commission specifically banned simulcasting stations many years ago.
