K225DC 92.9 (KGTK?) contact help appreciated.

The Central Valley of California feeds this nation so I would cut them some slack. Everytime I go to the grocery store (some 2,000 miles away) I play a form of license plate bingo using the city appears on the box of citrus: Reedley Delano, Terra Bella, Wasco etc. The same game can be played with fruit from the Northwest: Wapato, Cashmere, Yakima, Hood River, The Dalles, etc.

Now... if they could bring back a large brewery to Tumwater.... (See how RF101 brings the discussion back on topic.)
..
 
Now, in their infinite wisdom, the Commish will be opening up the opportunity for more Hobby stations... soon, everyone will have their own LPFM that their neighbor can listen to.
 
The folks? A guy who couldn't get a real radio job and has a fascination with hearing himself on the radio.
 
106.5 will be a fine frequency. KWPZ Class C on Mt Constitution launches a surprisingly strong signal down that way. (KWPZ effectively also blocked that Raymond allocation from being upgradable - but you knew that already BossBill as that's your hometurf. )

The K225DC application should be dismissed as incomplete.

It was dismissed today.
 
I haven't looked at the engineering study, but it seems to me like 106.5 should work for that translator. It doesn't make sense to me that there's an LPFM on 106.5 in Seatac but a translator in Olympia wouldn't work. The engineering study may have been incomplete, but I would think that frequency should be okay with the proper engineering documentation.
 
Here we go again folks....

Today, NWR&R filed to move K281CI Tacoma to 92.9 from 104.1 .The translator will operate from a tree-mounted antenna at 60 watts ERP.

Application is here:


The application remains fundamentally flawed. The paperwork says the translator relays KGHO-LP via K266BM. However, by the group's own earlier filing, K266BM now carries KBRD AM programming. Ya can't have it both ways!

A crappy application? I'm shocked! No, not really.
Guy gives amateur radio a bad name.

Probably with the antenna placed in a tree or somewhere equally stupid.

Last time I was up in the White Pass area hiking, I picked up K266BM with a repeating 30 sec. sample of some 1940s big band song. I knew it was KBRD...and that it was having technical issues that afternoon, apparently. But it wasn't // to KGTK anymore.
Hey, 92.9 will be up on a tree. How many miles (maybe blocks?) before KISM or the Olympia translator takes them out? *Especially* near the natural amplifier called the Puget Sound? You can't get Seattle noise-free to save your life, but Victoria and Bellingham magically become your 'locals'...at least along the water in Edmonds.

Well, it certainly won’t be an interference free frequency. Not that there are many other “open” frequencies, but a transmitter in a tree probably isn’t going to get them very far.
