Benjamin Evans, P.E. Evans Associates 210 South Main Street Thiensville, WI 53092 262-242-6000 PHONE 262-242-6045 FAX www.evansassoc.com Copyright 2010 Page 1 Evans Associates Montezuma II Wind Project RF Study ENGINEERING REPORT CONCERNING THE EFFECT UPON NEARBY FCC LICENSED RF FACILITIES DUE TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE MONTEZUMA II WIND ENERGY PROJECT In SOLANO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA ICF Jones & Stokes I. INTRODUCTION AND RESULTS SUMMARY This engineering report describes the results of a study and analysis to determine the locations of FCC-licensed microwave and fixed station radio frequency facilities that may be adversely impacted as a result of the construction of wind turbines in the Montezuma II wind project area in Solano County, California. This report describes impact zones and any necessary mitigation procedures, along with recommendations concerning individual wind turbine siting. All illustrations, calculations and conclusions contained in this document are subject to on-site verification1. Frequently, wind turbines located on land parcels near RF facilities can cause one or more modes of RF impact, and may require an iterative procedure to minimize adverse effects. This procedure is necessary in order to ensure that disruption of RF facilities either does not occur or, in the alternative, that mitigation procedures will be effective. The purpose of this study report is to facilitate the siting of turbines to avoid unacceptable impact to licensed RF facilities. Two turbine types (Siemens 2.3 MW and General Electric 2.5 MW) are being proposed for the Montezuma II project. Depending on which turbine model is constructed, the hub height would be either 80 or 85 meters. The blade radius would be 50.5 meters, thus the maximum total height of the turbine from ground level to the tip of the blade in the 12 o’clock position would be 135.5 meters. The wind turbine farm occupies a land parcel approximately 24 kilometers southeast of Fairfield, California. A specific turbine layout has been submitted for analysis. Therefore, this report will address potential impact to RF transmitting facilities due to the turbines as they are presently sited. 1 The databases used in creating the attached tables and maps are generally accurate, but anomalies have been known to occur. An on-site verification survey is suggested as part of the due diligence process. Copyright 2010 Page 2 Evans Associates Montezuma II Wind Project RF Study Using industry standard procedures and FCC databases, a search was conducted to determine the presence of existing microwave paths crossing the Montezuma II property, as well as other RF facilities within or adjacent to the identified area. The overall view of the turbine area showing microwave paths and land mobile stations is shown in Figure 1. Figure 1 – Overview of Turbine Area with Microwave Paths & Land Mobile Stations The FCC database search revealed several microwave links in the area, but only two of them appear to cross near where the turbines are to be located (WLL763/WLR685) and WQAP211/WQHV882). In addition, one land mobile base station near the turbine arrays has been identified. Copyright 2010 Page 3 Evans Associates Montezuma II Wind Project RF Study A detailed view of the turbine area is shown in Figure 2 below: Figure 2 – Detail of Turbine Analysis Area Figure 2 above also shows the position of WQHG573, the closest land mobile facility to the turbine group. This station is more than 1,000 meters from the nearest turbine. In the opinion of this consultant, the aggregate impact to this licensed facility would not be significant. Copyright 2010 Page 4 Evans Associates Montezuma II Wind Project RF Study Figure 3 - Microwave Path WQAP211/WQHV882 The microwave path shown above directly crosses the location of Turbine 23 and comes close to Turbine 21. However, impact to this path is not expected because the microwave beam is high above the turbines’ blade sweeps, as illustrated above. The green shaded area is an imaginary surface between the center line of the microwave beam and the ground directly below the microwave center line. Copyright 2010 Page 5 Evans Associates Montezuma II Wind Project RF Study Figure 4 - Wind Turbine 23 in relation to Microwave Path WLL763/WLR685 In Figure 4 above, it appears Turbine 23 is very close to Microwave Path WLL763/WLR685, however, the Worst Case Fresnel Zone appears to be below the blade sweep. If the transmitting and receiving antenna locations of the microwave link are correct as listed in the FCC license, the link is not expected to be affected by Turbine 23. It is recommended that the transmitting and receiving antennas of this microwave path be verified by land survey so that this finding can be confirmed. The geographic coordinates listed in the FCC license for a microwave path often is not accurate for purposes of siting turbines to avoid nearby microwave paths. Copyright 2010 Page 6 Evans Associates Montezuma II Wind Project RF Study Figure 5 - Wind Turbine 32 in relation to Microwave Path WLL763/WLR685 In Figure 5 above, it appears Turbine 32 is very close to Microwave Path WLL763/WLR685, the same link that comes near Turbine 23. However, the Worst Case Fresnel Zone appears to be below and away from the blade sweep. If the transmitting and receiving antenna locations of the microwave link are correct as listed in the FCC license, the link is not expected to be affected by Turbine 23. As mentioned previously, a land survey will confirm this finding. Copyright 2010 Page 7 Evans Associates Montezuma II Wind Project RF Study The detailed analysis in the following paragraphs examines the pertinent FCC licensed services and supports the summary given above. This analysis assumes that all licensed services have been designed and constructed according to FCC requirements and good engineering practice. If this is not the case, the impacted facility must share responsibility with the wind turbine company for the costs of any mitigation measures2. II. DETAILS OF ANALYSIS OF MICROWAVE LINKS An extensive analysis was undertaken to determine the likely effect of the new wind turbine farm upon the existing microwave paths, consisting of a Fresnel x/y axis study and a z-axis (height) evaluation (see Section I). The microwave overlay is available as shape files for the GeoPlanner™, ESRI™, or Google™ programs. Important Note: Microwave path studies are based upon third party and FCC databases that normally exhibit a high degree of accuracy and reliability. Although Evans performs due diligence to ensure that all existing microwave facilities are represented, we cannot be responsible for database errors that may lead to incomplete results. If, in spite of our diligence, such adverse situations should occur, Evans would perform an engineering analysis at no additional cost to determine how the additional facilities could be accommodated or, if wind turbine structures are already built, determine a method to re-direct the offending beam path. It is recommended that a field engineer visit the site to visually check for anomalies. For this microwave study, Worse Case Fresnel Zones (WCFZ) were calculated for each microwave path. The mid-point of a microwave path is the location where the widest (or worst case) Fresnel zone occurs. Possible geographic coordinate errors must be added to the Fresnel zone clearance numbers3. The radius R of the Worst Case Fresnel Zone, in meters, is calculated for each path using the following formula: where D is the microwave path length in kilometers and FGHz is the frequency in gigahertz. In general, the WCFZ is defined by the cylindrical area whose axis is the direct line between the microwave link endpoints and whose radius is R as calculated above. This is the zone where the siting of obstructions should be avoided. 2 For instance, some microwave paths may have insufficient ground clearances as they are presently configured. 3 Many microwave facilities were built before accurate methods were available to establish exact geographic coordinates (such as GPS). It is not unusual for database errors of up to 4 or 5 seconds to occur, which can effect the positioning of critical turbines located near Fresnel paths. Copyright 2010 Page 8 Evans Associates Montezuma II Wind Project RF Study Evans Associates has identified 32 active microwave links that intersect or are relatively close to the project area. These links are tabulated in Table 1 for reference. The microwave paths that come close to the sites of Turbines 21, 23 and 32 are shaded in yellow in Table 1.

  • Public Radio Classical Audience January 2017
    Public Radio Classical Audience January 2017 Background & Executive Summary § On behalf of the Classical Music Rising project Scott Williams approached NPR to assess what NPR Audience Insights has learned from classical music stations in PPM markets that might apply to all markets. § Using a Mon-Sun 6a-7p schedule, we identified 26 stations whose schedules consist at least 90% of classical music programming in PPM markets and 113 stations in diary metro markets. § Classical music stations in PPM markets… § comprise a larger percentage of listening § Have seen significant growth in listening since 2012; the growth spans from 6a to midnight § These stations have experienced double digit percentage growth in cume and AQH since Spring 2012 across each major daypart (morning, midday, afternoon and evenings) § In terms of percent growth, the largest increases occurred in the MF 3p-7p daypart: (cume 16% and AQH 35%) § Diary market stations … § Have not seen dramatic listening growth. We see a slight bump between 2p and 7p § Have experienced a similar growth in cume listeners, but AQH growth is considerably more modest, and has been flat in the morning daypart and nearly flat in the midday. § Time spent listening in PPM markets has grown over the past year, while it has declined in diary markets. That said, TSL is greater in diary markets, as one might expect using a diary methodology. § Percent of audience that is P1 has remained fairly consistent in PPM and diary markets § Listening to classical music stations in PPM and diary markets is growing in the 65+ demo. § I would be hesitant to draw any listening conclusions in diary markets, given the vastly different AQH measures.

  • The Don Lee-Columbia System
    THE DON LEE-COLUMBIA SYSTEM: By Mike Adams 111 Sutter Street was not the only network broadcast address during the thirties. The other was 1000 Van Ness Avenue, the Don Lee Cadillac Building, headquarters for KFRC and the Don Lee-Columbia Network. It was there that another radio legend was born. Don Lee was a prominent Los Angeles automobile dealer, who had owned all the Cadillac and LaSalle dealerships in the State of California for over 20 years. After making a substantial fortune in the auto business, he decided to try his hand at broadcasting.1 In 1926, he purchased KFRC in San Francisco from the City of Paris department store. The following year he bought KHJ in Los Angeles and connected the two stations by telephone line to establish the Don Lee Broadcasting System. From the beginning, Lee spared no expense to make these two stations among the finest in the nation, as a 1929 article from Broadcast Weekly attests: Both KHJ and KFRC have large complete staffs of artists, singers and entertainers, with each station having its own Don Lee Symphony Orchestra, dance band and organ, plus all of the musical instruments that can be used successful in broadcasting. It is no idle boast that either KHJ or KFRC could operate continuously without going outside their own staffs for talent, and yet give a variety with an appeal to every type of audience.[2] In 1929, CBS still had no affiliates west of the Rockies, and this was making it difficult for the network to compete with its larger rival, NBC.

  • Media Announcement
    MEDIA ANNOUNCEMENT FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE BAY AREA RADIO HALL OF FAME ANNOUNCES FIRST CLASS OF HONOREES San Francisco (October 4, 2006) — The Bay Area Radio Museum is proud to announce the first group of inductees into the Bay Area Radio Hall of Fame. The selections were made following a year of study during which input from broadcast professionals, fans and historians was weighed to establish criteria and nominees for enshrinement. Among the first inductees are pioneers from the earliest period of local radio development nearly a century ago, as well as popular personalities from the modern era. Many of the names, such as Don Sherwood and Tom Donahue, may be instantly recognizable. Others, such as Colin B. Kennedy and Harrison Holliway, may be less so. In either case, it is hoped that the creation of the Hall of Fame will help to honor the men and women who have made Bay Area radio so popular over the years, and will make their names and accomplishments known for generations to come. For the near future, the Bay Area Radio Hall of Fame will exist primarily on the Internet at www.barhof.com, although a permanent exhibit is planned at the old KRE radio studios in Berkeley, which are being refurbished by the California Historical Radio Society (CHRS). The Bay Area Radio Hall of Fame is spearheaded by the Bay Area Radio Museum, which is an affiliate of the Broadcast & Newspaper Museum of Northern California consortium, which also includes CHRS and the Broadcast Legends. The radio museum was founded in 2005, and currently presents archival broadcast recordings, photographs, documents and historical essays on its website at www.bayarearadio.org.

  • Three Years After the FCC Slapped
    800.275.2840 MORE NEWS» insideradio.com THE MOST TRUSTED NEWS IN RADIO WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 21, 2015 Christmas format rode higher ratings wave in 2014. Santa spiked the holiday punch bowl with a little more ratings juice in 2014. The average Christmas station notched a 9.6 share in the 6+ demo in Nielsen’s Holiday 2014 survey, up a full share from 2013’s 8.6. The numbers reflect the 11 stations in non-embedded Day One PPM markets that went all-Christmas in 2014 and 2013. Of them, nine posted a higher 6+ share in 2014, two held steady and none declined. With the majority of PPM ratings not coming until later this week, it’s too early to know if the higher trend will hold up across all PPM markets. One likely reason for the bigger bump is that the 2014 survey, which covered December 4-31, reflected one more day of Christmas programming than in 2013. Some of the increases were dramatic, putting on ice, for now, the notion that the seasonal format has peaked. Holiday ratings for iHeartMedia AC “93.9 My FM” WLIT, Chicago were 24% higher than in 2013 (11.6-14.2). What’s more, the station nearly doubled its December share. WLIT wasn’t alone in posting double-digit, year-over-year holiday ratings gains: CBS Radio’s classic hits KLUV, Dallas (98.7) padded its share by 22% (7.2-8.8) while Entercom AC KOIT, San Francisco (96.5) grew 8.9-10.6, a 19% gain over 2013.
