ENGINEERING EXHIBIT Application for Minor Modification Of ENGINEERING EXHIBIT Application for Minor Modification of Construction Permit Digital to Digital Replacement Translator Television Station prepared for Gray Television Licensee, LLC WHSV-TV Harrisonburg, VA DTDRT Broadway, VA Facility ID 4688 Ch. 15 (digital) 15 kW Gray Television Licensee, LLC (“Gray”) is the licensee of television station WHSV-TV, Harrisonburg, VA, Facility ID 4688. WHSV-TV was reassigned from Channel 49 to Channel 20 in the Incentive Auction Closing and Channel Reassignment Public Notice (“CCRPN” , DA 17- 317, released April 13, 2017). An “unable to construct” waiver was granted regarding implementation of WHSV-TV’s Channel 20 reassignment at the WHSV-TV Channel 49 reference transmitter site at Big Mountain, and a priority filing window 1 Construction Permit (“CP”, file# 0000029912) authorized the WHSV-TV Channel 20 post-auction facility to be sited at Elliott Knob, located 76.6 km from the Channel 49 site at Big Mountain. WHSV-TV has completed its transition to Channel 20 and is now licensed with its reassignment facility (file# 0000063970). Owing to the 76.6 km change in WHSV-TV’s transmitter site location, there will be widespread areas of service loss. To recover those losses, Gray has obtained authorizations to construct three new digital-to-digital replacement translator (“DTDRT”) facilities. One of those DTDRT authorizations is a CP to utilize Channel 15 (file# 0000054797, granted February 19, 2019) to aid in serving Broadway and other nearby communities. Gray herein seeks to modify the Channel 15 DTDRT CP to specify an alternate directional antenna and associated pattern. No change in site location, antenna height, or maximum effective radiated power (“ERP”) is sought. 1Public Notice “Incentive Auction Task Force and Media Bureau Announce the Opening of the First Priority Filing Window for Eligible Full Power and Class A Television Stations from August 9 through September 8, 2017” DA 17-724, released July 31, 2017. Engineering Exhibit Gray Television Licensee, LLC DTDRT Channel 15 Broadway, VA (page 2 of 3) As proposed herein, the Channel 15 DTDRT will operate at the currently authorized antenna location and height. The overall structure elevation is less than 61 meters above ground and passes the FCC’s TOWAIR program for the transmitter location, thus FCC antenna structure registration is not necessary. No change to the overall structure height will result. The Channel 15 DTDRT site is located within the quiet zone area specified in §73.1030(a) requiring coordination with National Radio Astronomy Observatory (“NRAO”) at Green Bank, WV. The existing DTDRT Channel 15 CP was coordinated with NRAO. The alternate directional antenna specified herein provides suppression towards NRAO and complies with the power limit identified by NRAO in the direction of the Green Bank Telescope. A detailed description of the technical details of this proposal is being supplied to NRAO for review. Upon receipt of NRAO’s formal concurrence, an amendment to this application will be submitted to include the letter of concurrence. The proposed Channel 15 DTDRT facility will operate with a directional antenna at 15 kW ERP using a “full service” out of channel emission mask. A plot of the directional antenna’s azimuthal pattern is supplied in Figure 1 Figure 2 depicts the 51 dBµ coverage contour of the authorized and proposed facilities, demonstrating compliance with §73.3572 for a minor change. As demonstrated in Figure 3, the proposed DTDRT coverage contour does not extend beyond WHSV-TV’s pre-auction digital service area. Figure 3 also shows that the Channel 15 DTDRT will provide service to various locations that lost interference-free service when WHSV-TV transitioned to its reassignment facility. Interference study per OET Bulletin 69 2 shows that the proposal complies with the FCC’s interference protection requirements toward all digital television, television translator, LPTV, and Class A stations (existing and post-auction). The results, summarized in Table 1, show that 2FCC Office of Engineering and Technology Bulletin number 69, Longley-Rice Methodology for Evaluating TV Coverage and Interference , February 6, 2004 (“OET-69”). This analysis employed the FCC’s current “TVStudy” software with the default application processing template settings, 1 km cell size, and 1 km terrain increment. Comparisons of various results of this computer program (run on a Mac processor) to the FCCs implementation of TVStudy show excellent correlation. Engineering Exhibit Gray Television Licensee, LLC DTDRT Channel 15 Broadway, VA (page 3 of 3) any new interference does not exceed the FCC’s interference limits (0.5 percent to full power and Class A stations, and 2.0 percent to secondary stations) to any facility. Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Field (Environmental) The proposed operation was evaluated for human exposure to RF energy using the procedures outlined in the FCC’s OET Bulletin Number 65. Based on OET-65 equation (10), and considering 10 percent antenna relative field in downward elevations, the calculated signal density near the tower at two meters above ground level attributable to the proposed facility is 6.0 µW/cm 2, which is 1.9 percent of the general population/uncontrolled maximum permitted exposure limit. This is below the five percent threshold limit described in §1.1307(b) regarding sites with multiple emitters, categorically excluding the applicant from responsibility for taking any corrective action in the areas where the proposal’s contribution is less than five percent. The general public will not be exposed to RF levels attributable to the proposal in excess of the FCC’s guidelines. RF exposure warning signs will continue to be posted. With respect to worker safety, the applicant will coordinate exposure procedures with all pertinent stations and will reduce power or cease operation as necessary to protect persons having access to the site, tower, or antenna from RF electromagnetic field exposure in excess of FCC guidelines. This exhibit is limited to the evaluation of exposure to RF electromagnetic field. No increase in structure height is proposed.

Organizations can use mass media outlets to change social conditions and encourage political and social intervention. When working with the media, advocates should ‘shape’ their story to incorporate social themes rather than solely focusing on individual accountability. “Develop a story that personalizes the injustice and then provide a clear picture of who is benefiting from the condition.” (Wallack et al., 1999) Merely stating that there is a problem provides no ‘call to action’ for the public. Therefore, advocates should identify a specific solution that would allow communities to take control of the issue. Sexual violence is a public health concern of social injustices. Effective Media Campaigns Local, regional or statewide campaigns can provide a forum for prevention, outreach and raising awareness to create social change. This toolkit will enhance advocates’ abilities to utilize the media for campaigns and other events. Campaigns can include: public service announcements (PSAs), awareness events (Take Back the Night; The Clothesline Project), media interviews, coordinated events at area schools or college campuses, position papers, etc.

  • List of Directv Channels (United States)
    List of DirecTV channels (United States) Below is a numerical representation of the current DirecTV national channel lineup in the United States. Some channels have both east and west feeds, airing the same programming with a three-hour delay on the latter feed, creating a backup for those who missed their shows. The three-hour delay also represents the time zone difference between Eastern (UTC -5/-4) and Pacific (UTC -8/-7). All channels are the East Coast feed if not specified. High definition Most high-definition (HDTV) and foreign-language channels may require a certain satellite dish or set-top box. Additionally, the same channel number is listed for both the standard-definition (SD) channel and the high-definition (HD) channel, such as 202 for both CNN and CNN HD. DirecTV HD receivers can tune to each channel separately. This is required since programming may be different on the SD and HD versions of the channels; while at times the programming may be simulcast with the same programming on both SD and HD channels. Part time regional sports networks and out of market sports packages will be listed as ###-1. Older MPEG-2 HD receivers will no longer receive the HD programming. Special channels In addition to the channels listed below, DirecTV occasionally uses temporary channels for various purposes, such as emergency updates (e.g. Hurricane Gustav and Hurricane Ike information in September 2008, and Hurricane Irene in August 2011), and news of legislation that could affect subscribers. The News Mix channels (102 and 352) have special versions during special events such as the 2008 United States Presidential Election night coverage and during the Inauguration of Barack Obama.

  • NPSTC T-Band Contribution to Incentive Auction Educational Paper
    April 4, 2019 The T-Band Spectrum Contributed to the Incentive Auction Proceeds 1. Executive Summary NPSTC and public safety agencies who rely on the T-Band spectrum have provided clear documentation that relocation out of the public safety T-Band spectrum as required under Section 6103 of Public Law (P.L.) 112-96 would significantly disrupt mission critical public safety voice communications in key major urban areas. A significant number of industrial-business licensees interleaved in the T-Band spectrum would also suffer, even though they are not covered by Section 6103. The loss of auction revenue has been cited in discussions as a potential roadblock to adopting legislation to repeal Section 6103 of P.L. 112-96. However, the T-Band spectrum has been an essential element of the Federal Communications Commission’s 2016- 2017 Incentive Auction, and has already contributed significantly to the $19.8B in proceeds received by providing flexibility to the TV repacking process and reducing the number of TV stations that would otherwise have to be purchased outright. At the conclusion of repacking, the T-Band (470-512 MHz or TV channels 14-20) will support 453 full power and class A TV stations, 231 of which were relocated to the T-Band spectrum to accommodate TV repacking and the incentive auction process. In addition to disrupting public safety operations, failure to repeal Section 6103 of P.L. 112-96 would potentially undermine the TV repacking process and place these TV stations that are already moving at Congress’ and the Commission’s direction at risk.

  • Special Displacement Window Application New Digital to Digital Replacement Translator
    Eligibility and Technical Information Gray Television Licensee, LLC (page 1 of 2) Special Displacement Window Application New Digital to Digital Replacement Translator Full Power Television Station: WHSV-TV Facility ID 4688 Harrisonburg, VA Pre-Auction Ch. 49 Reassignment Ch. 20 DTDRT Eligibility: An “unable to construct” waiver was granted regarding implementation of WHSV-TV’s Channel 20 reassignment at the licensed WHSV-TV transmitter site at Big Mountain (see file# 0000024849). A Construction Permit (file# 0000029912) authorizes the WHSV-TV Channel 20 post-auction facility to be sited at Elliott Knob, located 76.6 km from the licensed site at Big Mountain. Figure 1 demonstrates that there will be substantial loss of interference-free service within the WHSV-TV pre-auction digital service area (Ch. 49, BLCDT-20060413ACO). The loss results from the incentive auction’s reassignment and the inability to construct the reassignment facility at the Big Mountain site. Proposed Facility: Ch. 15 Broadway, VA 15 kW ERP directional (azimuth pattern in Figure 2) DTDRT Compliance: The proposed DTDRT contour encompasses some of the loss area and does not extend beyond the pre-auction digital service area (Figure 1). TVStudy Analysis report in Table 1 Contingent Application Rule: No waiver required, not dependent on spectrum to be vacated Quiet Zone: The site is located within the quiet zone area specified in §73.1030(a) requiring coordination with the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (“NRAO”) at Green Bank, WV. Preliminary coordination with NRAO has been obtained. A detailed description of the technical details of this proposal will be supplied to NRAO for final review.
