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. | Yes |
Briefly describe transition plan | Switch to aux transmitter and antenna. Retune main combiner filters and transmitter. After retuning remain on aux transmitter and antenna until operation can start on the new channel with the retuned main facility. |
