Translator versus pirate in Austin?

J

K206CF, the Calvary Chapel translator on 89.1 has been the subject of an objection for license renewal, initiated by South Texas Public Radio because of interference complaints from listeners of San Antonio's KSTX, also on 89.1. According to an application filed a couple of days ago, they tried reducing power but that didn't solve all the problems, so now they're seeking to change frequencies. Click on the link and scroll to Exhibit 1 for more:

https://licensing.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/w...xt=25&appn=101574835&formid=349&fac_num=92021

They're seeking to have the application treated as a "displacement" and asking for a waiver so that the FCC will treat it as a "minor change," as if they were moving just a couple of channels either way. With KAZI and KMFA on either side of the translator, of course, that's impossible---so they're wanting to move to 90.1!

The frequency study in the application makes no mention of anything on 90.1, but why would it, since the FCC has done nothing about the "for profit" PIRATE that's been there for years? This could get really interesting.
 
IIRC-- 90.1 is allocated for a class A in Thorndale, I guess that's comparable to the 99.3 KOKE-FM also licensed to Thorndale. A licensed translator on 90.1 would have to move again if anyone ever does something with the Thorndale frequency.

And the pirate too, of course!
 
We just need to get rid of all these translators they're useless There just here to take up space for people who actually want to hear real radio stations on these poor defenseless frequencies
