§ 74.1205 Protection of channel 6 TV broadcast stations.
The provisions of this section apply to all applications for
construction permits for new or modified facilities for a noncommercial
educational FM translator station on Channels 201-220, unless the
application is accompanied by a written agreement between the NCE-FM
translator applicant and each affected TV Channel 6 broadcast station
licensee or permittee concurring with the proposed NCE-FM translator
facility.
(a) An application for a construction permit for new or modified
facilities for a noncommercial educational FM translator station
operating on Channels 201-220 must include a showing that demonstrates
compliance with paragraph (b), (c) or (d) of this section if it is
within the following distances of a TV broadcast station which is
authorized to operate on Channel 6.

(b) Collocated stations. An application for a noncommercial educational
FM translator station operating on Channels 201-220 and located at 0.4
kilometer (approximately 0.25 mile) or less from a TV Channel 6 station
will be accepted if it includes a certification that the applicant has
coordinated its antenna with the affected TV station.
(c) Contour overlap. Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this
section, an application for a noncommercial educational FM translator
station operating on Channels 201-220 will not be accepted if the
proposed operation would involve overlap of its interference field
strength contour with any TV Channel 6 station's Grade B contour, as
set forth below.
(1) The distances to the TV Channel 6 station Grade B (47 dBu) field
strength contour will be predicted according to the procedures
specified in § 73.684 of this chapter, using the F(50,50) curves in
§ 73.699, Figure 9 of this chapter.
(2) The distances to the applicable noncommercial educational FM
translator interference contour will be predicted according to the
procedures specified in § 74.1204(b) of this part.
(3) The applicable noncommercial educational FM translator interference
contours are as follows:
FM channel Interference Contour F(50,10) curves (dBu)
201 54
202 56
203 59
204 62
205 64

219 88
220 90
(d) FM translator stations authorized prior to June 1, 1991 with
facilities that do not comply with the predicted interference
protection provisions of this section, may continue to operate,
provided that operation is in conformance with § 74.1203 regarding
actual interference. Applications for major changes in FM translator
stations must specify facilities that comply with the provisions of
this section.
