WCRN-LD DISPLACEMENT APPLICATION FOR CH 30 15 kW DIRECTIONAL PROVIDENCE, ENGINEERING NARRATIVE AND RF RADIATION ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS MAY 2018

The proposed facility qualifies for displacement as described in FCC PN DA 18-124 released February 9, 2018. WCRN-LD is a licensed LPTV DTV facility as authorized in file number 0000013903. FCC TVStudy software was utilized to determine the interference levels associated with the WCRN-LD licensed facility and they are pasted in below:

**IX check failure to BLANK0000034380 CP scenario 1, 4.28% interference caused WJAR CP CH 25

Proposal receives 78.70% interference from scenario 1

**MX with BLANK0000035673 APP scenario 2, 78.70% interference received WMHT Pending Minor Mod

The WCRN-LD facility is believed displaced as it is associated with caused interference in excess of 0.5% to full service station WJAR construction permit. Further, the station is subject to high levels of received interference.

The applicant proposes herein to move to FCC Tower registration ASR 1002111. The site change and proposed facilities are believed to comply with FCC policy and rules based on the following:

The proposed site is 33.8 kilometers from the city reference coordinates for Providence, Rhode Island.

The proposed CH 30 and licensed CH 25 51 dBu contours have an area of common overlap as depicted on Figure 1 attached.

1 The proposed site is located a distance of 30.355 air miles from the licensed site coordinates. Since 30.355 rounds Page

down to 30 miles it is believed that this proposal is compliant with past Media Bureau practice and the intent of the rule. However, a waiver of rule section 74.787 (b) (iii) is requested in an abundance of caution.

The proposed antenna system consists of an ATC ATC-BPE2C1-30 Special, or equivalent, UHF antenna, elliptically polarized, with 0.75 degree of beam tilt. The maximum relative field in the elevation pattern across the depression angle range of 20 to 90 degrees is less than 0.25 with a radiation center 143 meters above ground. Utilizing formula 10 OF OET Bulletin No. 65, Edition 97-01, a value F of 0.10 has been used to calculate the power density 2 meters above ground. The maximum power density is 3.15 uw/cm squared calculated for an ERP OF 15,000 watts H. polarization and 15,000 watts V. polarization. This value is 0.84% of the Public Exposure MPE per section 1.1310. Based on this analysis it is believed that the proposed facility is in compliance with OET-65 Guidelines.

The applicant will reduce power or cease transmission as required to meet FCC OET-65 Guidelines.

The proposed tower is existing along with the transmitter building, access road and power.

Below is a copy of the TVStudy interference analysis for CH 30 based on the facilities described above with the antenna orientation of 70 degrees true. As can be seen at the conclusion of the report there is no ISIX or co-channel received interference above 2%. It is believed that the proposed facility provides full protection to other television facilities.
