NEW LPFM PROPOSED FOR TOMBALL

These guys are ham radio licensee's. I'm 99% certain they didn't consult with an engineer. This is what happens when you don't have expensive software to do studies.
They are in a MX group.

There were several of these "amateur radio clubs" up this way that attempted to play radio in the last window. I can't cite one instance in which they were successful in their efforts, or even remain a licensed facility today.

For LPFM, you don't need expensive software most of the time. Nearly everything is just done purely on mileage spacing, and the FCC's own free tools will give you that.

Which doesn't mean you don't still need a consultant to get everything right - we're useful for doing second-adjacent waivers and for figuring out which frequencies will be viable and which won't work in the real world.

240 applications from one person.
 
And at least 239 applications that will be dismissed.

who is WARN and whats their game plan? I cant access fccdata.org and i cant find them in LMS
 
A Florida based company that applied for LPFMs up and down the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts and Caribbean.


im assuming they pulled a Guel and applied using local people and organizations as paper figure heads... or they triied to pull what state Dept of trtansporations have done and say theyre somehow qualified to own multiple lpfms?

Don't make assumptions without looking at the applications. They're very easy to find in the LMS search. Not sure what you're putting in to not see anything.

I typed in weather alert.. in an LMS facility search and nothing came up
 
I've never looked at the LMS before, but I went straight to Application Search and entered "weather alert radio network" (without quotes) in the Applicant Name field. I found it interesting that they checked "yes" to "It proposes a public safety radio service and has jurisdiction within the service area of the proposed LPFM station." I don't know the underlying rules, so it's not immediately clear to me how what appears to be a private company with three shareholders could have "jurisdiction" when it comes to public safety.

ah ha! i got it now.. i used facility search not application. oops.

i think that jurisdiction loop hole is what theyre trying for, not saying it has a chance of working

you darn well know, even if it did, almost none of these would get built out
 
9 WATTS?

"Serving the greater parking lot area, this is the mighty 104.5, not to be confused with the other 104.5 on the other side of the parking lot that in reality you are hearing unless you happen to be listening to us by climbing our tower"

When the City of Tomball had KTTF-LP at this same site, they only had approval for 9 watts. It covered Tomball okay.
