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 Install interim antenna and operate utilizing current line and transmitter on pre repack channel. Replace current transmission line and side mount antenna, then re-tune solid state transmitter and cut over to operation on post repack channel.
