Las Vegas KIOF group has an experimental license on 81.9. Did they not pay the site rental costs?

All FM radios that are sold retail (including automotive) in Japan and some sold in Brazil will receive these frequencies (76~108). Brazil had opened up the Channel 5 and 6 spectrum for AM transition. CITEL has given the green light for any nation in Region 2 (Western Hemisphere) to launch FM services in the 76~88 MHz range on a coordinated basis with nations that are using 76~88 for TV (which these days is only US, Canada and a very small number in Mexico and Caribbean). Several car manufacturers have the radios going in new cars for the Brazil market. We will just need to watch the penetration numbers there to see where this could go.

The man might have had a chance to move it as a non-commercial. That being said, has there ever been an actul license transfer from the reserved band to commercial?

Only thing even close I can think of is when the NPR/classical affiliate in Richmond, VA was sold to a commercial operator, the public television station started a new class A FM on a commercial band temporarily until the reserved band station could ensure no interference with the local channel 6.

Unlike Kaylee Lynn Stein, Esq., this application actually is quasi-sound. But it doesn’t help one’s case (especially when you’re asking the commission to do something out of the ordinary) that half your application is notifying the FCC how other various government agencies have shafted you…plus admitting being arrested for a “drug and/or alcohol DUI” which just sounds stupid.

On the upside, I suppose it’s possible 92.9 could be petitioned to be added to the table of allotments for a future auction. Don’t know if it clears KAFF or KYMT, but Portsonic/LVPR thinks it does!

There’s already a translator on 92.9. K225DF
 
Unless I have missed it, where is the "lack of site cost" been discussed? The title of the thread could lead someone to think they can't pay tower rental

I still question if they can get the 81.9 on the air per the FCC OET license as it is rumored that they owe the site owner for a lot of back rent.

anmd theyll blame that on "the man" for holding them back, not their fault, etc

Yes, because the vast majority of people going onto that site know exactly what a “NCE” is.

What has amazed me is this very weird (and improperly filed) application has the signature of a fairly well-known engineer who has planned out numerous west coast NCE projects and LPFMs. Are times that tough or did this engineer in question get tired of the emails/phone calls, and decided to charge him some money to shut LVPR up? Or did the engineer get duped?

Good news is they will have the FCC approval and their commercial operation up and running in 138 days…countdown clock on their website!
 
I am confused? The current license for KIOF 90.1. I thought that FM 88.1 thru 91.9 was supposed to be reserved for educational, community and religious non profits. Are they "giving up" their non profit status. If so may I suggest hiring a CPA to help you jump thru the IRS hops not to create a tax burden to your contributers when you lose your tax free status.
