Radio Moyen Orient's application for a nested repeater on 104.5 to be located in the Saint-Leonard area of Montreal was rejected by the CRTC today. The new station would have operated with 50 watts and have an antenna height of 22.3 metres (EHAAT).
The CRTC states that reception problems presented by the applicant took place outside or at the edge of CHOU’s secondary contour. The CRTC considers that the applicant has not demonstrated that its technical difficulties are located inside its licensed service area and that the application seems to increase the station’s primary service area rather than to mitigate its technical issues.
