97.7C3 Cross City, FL

Decent coverage from the location, nice map Kyle-- trouble is. Who would pay to find a site and build out completley north of Bell? Goodness knows it isn't cheap.

I think Mark hit the nail on the head, when he thought the most likely buyer would be our friend at WZCC and throwing it on his stick as a Class A.

Well, it might go on the WZCC tower as a directional class A. It won't quite fit as a non-directional class A.

I wonder what a Full C3 just north of Bell could throw into Alachua County... hmmm...

Yes, but not over Gainesville. If Newberry is a target, you could get a pretty good secondary signal over it. I don't think I'd want to license it to Bell, though. Once you have become the only station licensed to a community, you can never move again later if something changes. If you wanted to move closer to Gainesville than you could as a Cross City station, you could move the license to something like Trenton which already has another station assigned to the town and is within the city-grade contour.

A coverage map from the closest possible (non-directional) approach to Gainesville is at:

Before anyone asks, there's not much point in trying to get into Gainesville by going directional because this allocation has to protect WSKY, which happens to be in the same general direction, so the closer you approach, the lower the power gets in that azimuth.

Impressive...

It appears the new allocation point and transmitter site for 97.7 C3 is, in fact, Bell. Apparently the permittee reads these discussions...
