While KZNQ-LP may, at times, be experiencing reception difficulties due to propagation
anomalies, such disturbances to FM reception caused by changing atmospheric conditions are not
uncommon occurrences in West Coast regions, as well as other areas of the country.31 Numerous FM
broadcast stations on the Gulf Coast, in the Great Lakes Region, and other areas face similar reception
problems within their respective service areas. Therefore, KZNQ-LP's situation is not a special
circumstance. Furthermore, the Commission has rejected tropospheric ducting as a basis for granting
waivers of the Rules.32 Thus, this propagation phenomenon does not provide sufficient justification to
warrant waiver. We thus deny the waiver request and will dismiss the Modification Application.
