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 main transmitter using existing antenna and line. Replace auxiliary antenna and transmission line. Map and analyze tower; design and implement modifications if required. See attachment. |
