Your link shows the map of where it is already. I don't see any difference off what it already is covering.

Sorry man I posted the license not the new app that was accepted for filing on 08/19.

I'm sure that will be challenged and declined for interference.

Are you guys feeling alright? K254BZ is already on the air. This application does the same thing to 98-7 that is proposed for K283CH "La Major". It's going to be a smaller footprint, less height and less power. Dropping from its current 250 watts, all the way down to 30. Height drops from 500 meters, down to 366. Same tower, unlike K283CH which has proposed to move the Pilot truck stop on Patton.

K254BZ is originally the 91-3 Barker translator. It has been rebroadcasting KBXX HD2's Vietnamese language programming for several weeks now. The definitive question is why it is downgrading? I see no objections from Liberman or iHeart as its neighbors, and unlike La Mejor which moves towers completely, this one is staying put and simply castrating itself.

Why?

Sorry, I'm always told sarcasm isn't a good way to communicate.

98.7 Translator moving to houston

My observations. which may not be totally accurate, or politically correct, Another Guel Family Radio venture with Marcia C Guel "President" signing the paper work, and family radio attorney Dan J Alpert doing the legal work. Texas community property laws gives the spouse a 50% interest in property they own, does this mean that Her Husband is co owner of the license, but not on the license application ? and the distance restrictions on other licenses that He may own ( on the same tower) which might torpedo this application other wise, are a moot point. The 60 db contour of the proposed translator after the move does not appear to cover the City of license Fairbanks TX. another Super translator / Frankenslator a name coined by the FCC themselves. low initial investment, low over head, city wide area coverage, ability to under cut the air time of Class A stations on the same tower, which have huge investments, in multi user combiner antenna systems, and high operating cost, transmitters that cost 30K up, compared to translator transmitters that run 3 to 4 K and electric bills for a 20 to 50 kw transmitter compared to a 250 watt translator. and last but not least, they circumvent the purpose for translators in the first place, to give local night time coverage to AM stations. a concept which has been totally Convoluted. now many translators are basically back door class A stations on 2000 ft towers with wide area coverage.
