Construction Permits and STAs Requested

• KYUM-LD 15.x Yuma (Centro Cristiana Vida Abundante Inc.) has requested a major modification of its license. The station currently operates on UHF channel 15 at 0.3 kW from a tower at Fisher Wireless Services on Gila Ridge Rd., and is proposing a channel change and a significant power increase from the same location. Technical specifications: Ch 23; TL 32° 41' 14" N, 114° 35' 26" W (Fisher Wireless Services); Peak ERP 15 kW HP; HAAT 37 m / 121 ft (30 m / 98 ft AGL).
• KHSV 21.x (2) Las Vegas NV (Channel 33 Inc.) has modified its application to change to UHF channel 23 to show that the number of people who would lose the KHSV signal is about half of the population of the contour loss. Of those, a significant percentage can get the same programming from other stations in the area.
