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 | Add antenna above current antenna and replace transmission line. Current Support ple will not meet Rev G structural requirements. Replacement with a Top mount antenna and support was the least costly solution. Replace current transmitters. |
