Here is what the FCC's FM Query tool turns up:

Ummm...did you trying knocking on the door? I wouldn't be surprised at an LPFM station being run out of a house. However, you bring up an interesting point for a lot of frustrated radio people. The main studio doesn't necessarily have to be where the station actually does its broadcasts, and the toll-free phone number for the city of license just has to exist. It doesn't have to be listed.

CDBS Public Access
Choose "Search for application information" and input call letters WGVV-LP. Click "Info" on the first search result, and you see that it's an application for a license to cover. Click "View Authorization" and you can see the coordinates of the antenna location. I just plugged the coordinates into Google Maps.
Go back, click "Application" and you get the information about the administrative contact, including phone number.

do LPFM's maintain a public files? is that a rule for them...I know it is for commercial tv and radio. What about non com stations? do they have to do it?? Just wondering.,
LPFMs do not, but I know non-comms do.
question how long does something have to stay in the public file, is it seven years or three years? As far as communications from the community, and other related documents?
if you ask me its another waste of RF. Why does the FCC think we need lower power crap on the dial.

Depends. Transmitter/EAS logs are two years. Most everything else usually revolves around license renewal periods, such as the quarterly issues reports.
