§ 74.737 Antenna location.
(a) An applicant for a new low power TV, TV translator, or TV booster
station or for a change in the facilities of an authorized station
shall endeavor to select a site that will provide a line-of-sight
transmission path to the entire area intended to be served and at which
there is available a suitable signal from the primary station, if any,
that will be retransmitted.
(b) The transmitting antenna should be placed above growing vegetation
and trees lying in the direction of the area intended to be served, to
minimize the possibility of signal absorption by foliage.
(c) A site within 8 kilometers of the area intended to be served is to
be preferred if the conditions in paragraph (a) of this section can be
met.
(d) Consideration should be given to the accessibility of the site at
all seasons of the year and to the availability of facilities for the
maintenance and operation of the transmitting equipment.
(e) The transmitting antenna should be located as near as is practical
to the transmitter to avoid the use of long transmission lines and the
associated power losses.
(f) Consideration should be given to the existence of strong radio
frequency fields from other transmitters at the site of the
transmitting equipment and the possibility that such fields may result
in the retransmissions of signals originating on frequencies other than
that of the primary station being rebroadcast.
