Question | Response |
---|---|
Will the station be sharing equipment with another broadcast television station or stations (e.g., a shared antenna, co-location on a tower, use of the same transmitter room, multiple transmitters feeding a combiner, etc.)? If yes, enter the facility ID's of the other stations and click 'prefill' to download those stations' licensing information. | No |
Briefly describe transition plan | Replace existing Ch38/39 antenna with a wideband antenna. Replace transmission line, with 4" Heliax. This keeps the center of radiation and location on tower the same, allowing either channel to be able to operate. Replace the transmitter. |
