New FM translator applications - Tennessee

New FM translator applications - Tennessee

The following FM translator applications have been received by the FCC. They have not yet been accepted for filing. Only stations located within Middle Tennessee - within 150km (roughly 90 miles) of the L&C Tower in downtown Nashville - are listed. Distance and bearing are from the L&C Tower. (distance is in kilometers)

At least one (92.9 Murfreesboro) would seem to be ungrantable - the selected transmitter site is within the protected 60dBu contour of a Class C station (WJXA) on the same frequency.

For 92.1-107.9MHz, the "Hgt." column is actually the height of the antenna's radiation center above ground. For 88.1-91.9 it's the height above average terrain. Where a "d" follows the height figure, the station uses a directional antenna.

In the "ERP" column, "h" means the station is horizontally-polarized only; "v" means vertical only. All others are circular.

Many of the WMXX and WLQK applications were filed by a religious organization - not by the stations' ownership. Two different addresses in Twin Falls, Idaho are specified. I suspect these stations may actually be intended to translate KAWZ and/or KEFX. (88.9 Twin Falls, a religious rock station owned by the same people as KAWZ)

Similarly, the translators of WPLN-FM are not owned by WPLN - and will probably promptly change primaries if granted. The translators of WSIX and WBUZ, however, are owned by their primaries. I think the WSIX translator is intended to prevent anyone else from building a 98.3 translator in Nashville and thus causing second-adjacent interference to 97.9. Though that doesn't explain why they didn't file for the 97.5 slot in Goodlettsville. (which they might actually be able to spell properly...)

Note the Dickson application for a translator of a LPFM.

"990520ME" in Yates, Georgia, the primary for two translators, is a construction permit for a new station. Format unknown but probably religious.
