(c) A low power TV or TV translator station application will not be accepted
if it specifies a site that is within the protected contour of a co-channel
or first adjacent channel land mobile assignment.
(d) The low power TV or TV translator station field strength is calculated
from the proposed effective radiated power (ERP) and the antenna height
above average terrain (HAAT) in pertinent directions.
(1) The field strength is calculated using Figure 10c of Sec. 73.699 (F(50, 10)
charts) of Part 73 of this chapter.
(2) A low power TV or TV translator station application will not be accepted
if it specifies the same channel as one of the land mobile assignments and
its field strength at the land mobile protected contour exceeds 52 dBu.
(3) A low power TV or TV translator station application will not be accepted
if it specifies a channel that is one channel above or below one of the land
mobile assignments and its field strength at the land mobile protected
contour exceeds 76 dBu.
(e) To protect stations in the Offshore Radio Service, a low power TV or TV
translator station construction permit application will not be accepted if
it specifies operation on channels 15, 16, 17 or 18 in the following areas.
West Longitude and North Latitude are abbreviated as W.L. and N.L.
respectively.
(1) On Channel 15: west of 92 °00' W.L.; east of 98 °30' W.L.; and south of a
line extending due west from 30 °30' N.L., 92 °00' W.L. to 30 °30' N.L., 96 °00'
W.L.; and then due southwest to 28 °00' N.L., 98 °30' W.L.
(2) On Channel 16: west of 86 °40' W.L.; east of 96 °30' W.L.; and south of a
line extending due west from 31 °00' N.L., 86 °40' W.L. to 31 °00' N.L., 95 °00'
W.L. and then due southwest to 29 °30' N.L., 96 °30' W.L.
(3) On Channel 17: west of 86 °30' W.L.; east of 96 °00' W.L.; and south of a
line extending due west from 31 °00' N.L., 86 °30' W.L. to 31 °30' N.L., 94 °00'
W.L. and then due southwest to 29 °30' N.L., 96 °00' W.L.
(4) On Channel 18: west of 87 °00' W.L.; east of 95 °00' W.L.; and south of
31 °00' N.L.
