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 | WVUX currently runs a Hitachi 650P into Elettronika AVTV1500(500w) into DRV array. To protect 1st adjacent and co-channels, we will reduce noise-limited contour and offset population loss with penetrating antennae and 1kw transmitter |
