  • MULTIPLE OWNERSHIP CONSIDERATIONS Blueberry Broadcasting, LLC
    EXHIBIT 5 (Page 1 of 8) MULTIPLE OWNERSHIP CONSIDERATIONS Blueberry Broadcasting, LLC. The proposed modifications to the WMCM(FM) and WQSS(FM) operating facilities will continue to comply with the local radio ownership restrictions outlined in Section 73.3555 of the FCC Rules. WMCM and WQSS have and will continue to have overlap with four other commonly owned stations in the area:1 WABK-FM - Gardner, Maine WVQM(FM)- Augusta, Maine WBAK(FM) - Belfast, Maine WVOM(AM) - Rockland, Maine Neither WMCM nor WQSS is considered to be “home” to any Nielsen Audio metro market. Furthermore, neither Rockland nor Camden is located within the boundaries of any metro market. For this reason, as required by Paragraph 286 of the FCC’s July 2, 2003 Report and Order and Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in MB Dockets 02-277, 01- 235, 01-317, 00-244, and 03-130, it was necessary to conduct contour overlap studies2 for these commonly owned stations. Figure 5.0 is a map exhibit depicting the principal community contours for these six stations. The 5 mV/m daytime contour for WVOM was projected utilizing the notified daytime facilities from the FCC’s Consolidated Database System (“CDBS”) and soil con- ductivity data from FCC Figure M3. The 3.16 mV/m contours for WABK-FM, WVQM, 1Blueberry Broadcasting has other commonly owned stations in the area, but they do not have any principal community contour overlap with WMCM or WQSS and, therefore, were not analyzed as part of this analysis. Nor were they counted as stations in the market if their site was inside the composite con- tour.

  • Sheigra Dxpedition Report
    Sheigra DXpedition Report 12 th to 25 th October 2019 - with Dave Kenny & Alan Pennington This was the 58th DXpedition to Sheigra in Sutherland on the far north western tip of the Scottish mainland, just south of Cape Wrath. DXers made the first long drive up here in 1979, so this we guess, was the 40 th anniversary? And the DXers who first made the trip to Sheigra in 1979 to listen to MW would probably notice little change here today: the single-track road ending in the same cluster of cottages, the cemetery besides the track towards the sea and, beyond that, the machair in front of Sheigra’s sandy bay. And surrounding Sheigra, the wild windswept hillsides, lochans and rocky cliffs pounded by the Atlantic. (You can read reports on our 18 most recent Sheigra DXpeditions on the BDXC website here: http://bdxc.org.uk/articles.html ) Below: Sheigra from the north: Arkle and Ben Stack the mountains on the horizon. Once again we made Murdo’s traditional crofter’s cottage our DX base. From here our long wire Beverage aerials can radiate out across the hillsides towards the sea and the Americas to the west and north west, and eastwards towards Asia, parallel to the old, and now very rough, peat track which continues on north east into the open moors after the tarmac road ends at Sheigra. right: Dave earths the Caribbean Beverage.

  • How Trump Could Help Decide Who Wins Control of the Maine Senate
    Page 1 1 of 76 DOCUMENTS Bangor Daily News (Maine) September 25, 2018 Tuesday How Trump could help decide who wins control of the Maine Senate BYLINE: Michael Shepherd BDN Staff LENGTH: 1492 words Good morning from Augusta, where new sexual assault allegations against President Donald Trump's Su- preme Court nominee and confusion about the job status of the deputy attorney general got us thinking about where the president is most and least popular in Maine. We sorted the results of the 2016 presidential election between Trump, a Republican, and Democrat Hillary Clinton by Maine Senate district. It reveals some parallels to national polling showing that under Trump, Re- publicans are increasingly struggling in suburban areas that they have held in the past. Maine is lukewarm on Trump as a whole. A recent poll from Suffolk University found a 41 percent approval rating for the president here, which effectively matched past polls from Morning Consult that put the state near the middle of the pack nationally on Trump. The subtle divisions in his approval could be a key factor in elections here. Some of the most interesting ones come when thinking about control of the Maine Senate, which is controlled by Republicans who hold just a 18-17 lead on Democrats. The smallest switch could flip it. There are eight districts where Trump won a majority of votes. The one where he was most popular is held by a Democrat. Trump, who won the 2nd Congressional District but lost Maine at large to Clinton, only won majorities in eight of Maine's 35 Senate districts.
