Why is your coverage area so small? |
|
In 2000 the FCC created the Low power FM radio service (LPFM) to allow local non-profit groups and organizations to squeeze additional FM radio stations into the FM band to serve local communities. LPFM stations are limited to a combination of 100 watts effective radiated power and an antenna height of 100 feet height above average terrain (HAAT) within 10 miles of the transmitter. The old commercial WMJS at 92.7 MHz (now WBZS and soon to become "Redskins Radio") was licensed to put our 2,000 watts ERP at 300 ft. HAAT. The 100 watts at 100 ft. rule was to allow stations where none could legally exist at higher power.
