ENGINEERING STATEMENT OF KEITH G. BIAlf.L'OO OF THE FIRM OF
KESSLER AND GEHMAN ASSOCIATES, INC., cnmuLTING ENGINEERS,
IN OONNECTIOO WITH AN AMENDMENT TO THE APPLICATIOO, FILE NO. BPEIr89ll27MC,
OF SOOTHWEST FLORIDA <ntMUNITY RADIO, INC.
FOR A aJtSTRUCTIOO PERMIT FOR A NI!.W PM BROADCAST srATIOO
WHICH WOOLD OPERATE ON CHANNEL 202 WITH AN EFFECTIVE RADIATED Pa4ER OF
1.9 KIIDfATTS HORIZOOTALLY POLARIZED
AT AN EFFECrIVE ANTENNA HEIGHT OF 446 METERS ABOVE AVERAGE TERRAIN
IN THE VICINITY OF cnMAY, FLORIDA
I, Keith G. Blanton, am an associate of Kessler and Gehman Associates, Inc.,
with offices in Gainesville, Florida. I have been working in the field of
radio and television consulting engineeringsinoe 1961. I graduated from
Duke University in 1951 with a Bachelor of SCience degree in Physics.
This firm has been employed by southwest Florida camunity Radio, Inc. to
make engineer ing studies and to prepare the engineering portion of an
amendment to their application, File No. BPED-89ll27 MC, for construction
permit for a new Frequency Modulation Broadcast Station Which would operate
on Channel 202 with an effective radiated power of 1. 9 kilowatts
horizontally polarized at an effective antenna height of 446 meters above
average terrain in the vicinity of conway, Florida. It is the purpose of
this application to change the transmitting antenna site to that of WCPX-'lV
Channel 6 at Orlando. It is intended to diplex into the WCPX-'lV Channel 6
antenna. The applicant has made an agreement with the licensee of WCPX-'lV
to this effect. This application will remain mutually exclusive with the
applications, File No. BPED-8904l2MJ for channel 202C2 at COnway, Florida,
File No. BPED-88l207MA for channel 202C2 at union Park, Florida, File No.

ATTAOIED PIGURES
In carrying out the engineering studies, the following attached figures were
prepared by me or under my supervision:
1. Proposed engineering specifications.
2. Elevation drawing of the antenna system.
3. Directional Antenna data.4. USGS Topographic Map showing the transmitter site and coordinate
lines.
5. Map showing the 'proposed 1 rrfl/m contour.
6. Map showing the proposed and previously proposed 1 rrfl/m contours.
7. Allocation studies.
PlO'QSED OPERATION
It is proposed to utilize a type accepted transmitter which in conjunction
with the existing WCPX-TV horizontally polarized antenna and transmission
line will produce an effective radiated power of 1.9 kilowatts horizontally
polarized as shown in the attached Figure 1.
PROPOOED SITE
It is proposed to diplex into the existing WCPX-TV RCA TBF-6 BH(S) antenna
on the 490 meter tower structure located near Bithlo, Florida upon which the
antennae of WFTV(TV), WMFE-'lV, WMFE-FM, WWKA(FM) and WDIZ(FM) are also
mounted. Since the antenna is presently mounted on an existing tower it is
not considered necessary to notify the FAA. However the FAA has reportedly
been notified of the proposed construction by another applicant on 8-16-90.
For the same reason, the proposed tower construction will not be a major
action as defined by section 1.1305 of the camli.ssion's rules. Therefore it
is not considered necessary to submit an envirorunental impact statement.
The maxinum power density at the base of the tower fran the proposed channel
202 operation would be increased fran 0.3803 lIfiI/an2 fran the authorized
2
900914
.-,:"
operations of WP1V(TV), 'WCPK-TV, WWKA(PM), WMPE-TV, WDIZ(PM) and WMPB-PM
to 0.3806 DfiI/an2 as a result of the operation of the proposed PM facility.
This is significantly less than the maxilllDll p<M!r density of 1.0 lffIl/an2
allCM!d by ANSI. There are no AM broadcast stations within two miles of the
proposed site. There are no other PM, TV or non-broadcast stations in the
vicinity of the proposed tower. The blanketing contour (l15 dBu) extends
0.54 kM (0.34 miles) from the transmitter based on free space field. If
blanketing interference is caused to the few residents of this rural area
the applicant will take steps to eliminate the interference in accordance
with the FCC rules.
ALLOCATIOO STUDY
The proposed operation of the Channel 202 facility will not create
prohibited contour overlap with any co-channel or adjacent channel PM
stations. The interfering and protected contours of the JOOSt critical
stations are shown on the map Figure 7. It can be seen that the JOOSt
critical separation is that between the proposed 54 dBu contour of the
Olannel 202 station and the 60 dBu contour of the application, File No.
BPED-88ll0lMA for channel 203A at Palm Bay, Florida which contours fail to
overlap by approximately 6.5 kM.
POOSIBLE CHANNEL 6 TV INrERFERENCE
The only channel 6 TV station within 257 kM of the proposed channel 202 PM
site is WCPX-TV at orlando with which we are proposing to colocate.
The applicant has receiVed and is including in the application a letter fran
WCPX agreeing to allow the applicant to diplex into the WCPX-TV antenna.
cnMPLIANCE WITH PM STATION MILEAGE SEPARATIOO REQ9IRm4ENTS
The proposed site will meet all separation requirements involving
intermediate frequency interference. The nearest Channel 255 or 256 station
is WEZO Channel 255C2 at orlando, Florida which is 28.8 kM away where a
separation of 20 kM is required from the proposed Channel 202 C2 facility.

900914
AREA AND POPOIATIQf ANALYSIS
The land area within the proposed 1 nrv/m contour was determined by using a
polar planimeter on the original coverage map. The population served by the'
proposed 1 IfPJ1m contour was determined by using 1980 census data and a
CCIlPlter program which added the popllation of all enwoeration districts
whose centroids fall within the contour. The land area and population which
would be served by the proposed 1 IfPJ/m contour are 4,884 square kM and
696,917 persons respectively. This represents a gain of 1066 square kM and
a loss of 3 square kM or a percent change of 28.0% in area fran that
proposed in the original 'application.

FM EXAMINERSOPPOSITION TO PETITION TO DISMISS OR DENY
Southwest Florida Community Radio, Inc. (Southwest) files
this opposition to the Petition to Dismiss or Deny filed by
Florida Public Radio, Inc. (FPR) on July 25, 1990.
petition lacks merit and should be denied.
FPR's
Southwest proposes to utilize an existing tower which is
located 2.96 kilometers from the tower utilized by WCPX-TV,
Channel 6, Orlando, Florida. Although Southwest had hoped to
utilize the WCPX-TV tower and attempted to do so, the tower was
unable to accommodate an additional FM antenna. See Southwest
Engineering Statement at p. 3, and WCPX-TV November 13, 1989
letter to Bob Augsburg (Attached Exhibit 1). FPR argues in its
Petition to Dismiss or Deny that the mu~ually exclusive applica-
tions of Southwest, Bible Broadcasting Network, Inc. and Hispanic
Broadcast System, Inc. should be denied or, at minimum, that each
of the applicants should be required to amend its application.
FPR argues the applicants should conduct an interference study to
demonstrate the number of residences predicted to receive inter-
- 2 -
ference from the proposed facilities and should be required to
obtain a corporate resolution from WCPX-TV, Channel 6, waiving
any Section 73.525 requirements.
FPR's petition seeking denial of Southwest's application
should be summarily dismissed. Contrary to FPR' s allegations,
Southwest did submit with its application a letter from Robert K.
Diehl, chief engineer of WCPX-TV, Channel 6, confirming WCPX-TV's
commitment to fully cooperate in Southwest's efforts to license a
new facility on Channel 202.
part:
That letter states in pertinent
If you secure a position on the Gannet tower, whichis approximately one and one quarter miles from theWCPX transmitter, and intend to cooperate on any andall 88.3 mHz induced interference problems, WCPX ismore than willing to cooperate with you on your licenseseeking.
My experience has been that proper receiver antennainstallations and FM trap filters can do a lot toeliminate TVI problems. In an already crowdedspectrum, cooperation is the only way we can exist.
See Exhibit 1. Mr. Augsburg, president of Southwest, by letter
dated November 21, 1989, also submitted with Southwest's
application, has committed to promptly resolve in a manner
satisfactory to any viewer of WCPX-TV and the ownership of WCPX-
TV, any interference problems resulting from Southwest's new
proposed FM facility. See Exhibit 2.
The Commission has considered the commitments of Southwest
and WCPX-TV, included in Southwest's application, and concluded
no studies that might otherwise be required pursuant to Rule 47
C.F.R. Section 73.525 were necessary. By letter dated January
- 3 -
19, 1990 (ref. 8920-CMJ), addressed to Southwest and five other
mutually exclusive applicants, the Commission encouraged the
applicants to resolve any mutual exclusivity and directed certain
of the applicants to amend their respective applications. South
west was not required to supplement or amend its application to
provide any additional studies to show compliance with Rule
73.525, even though the applications were specifically reviewed
for compliance. Central Florida Educational Foundation, Inc.
(Central), for instance, was directed to either obtain a letter
of agreement from the director of engineering of WCPX-TV or to
submi t an engineering study to show compliance with the
provisions of 47 C.F.R. Section 73.525. Southwest's application
already contains a letter of agreement from the chief engineer at
WCPX-TV the same type of letter the Commission required
Central to provide.
In view of the Commission's request that Central provide a
letter of agreement from the director of engineering, Southwest's
submission from the chief engineer of WCPX-TV is clearly
adequate. There is, therefore, no merit to FPR's claim that
Southwest should have, at minimum, provided an irrevocable
consent agreement from the ownership of WCPX-TV. Nonetheless,
Southwest has also obtained a further commitment from Mike
Schwei tzer , Vice President and General Manager of WCPX-TV,
confirming that WCPX-TV's chief engineer, Robert K. Diehl, "has
the authority to make technical decision on behalf of WCPX-TV."
The letter further confirms WCPX-TV's earlier commitment, "As Bob
has stated, as long as your proposed station agrees to fully
- 4 -
cooperate in any and all induced interference that may occur, we
are willing to cooperate with you and your license seeking." See
Exhibit 3.
Southwest's application fully supports waiver of any
engineering studies required by Section 73.525. See Channel 5
Interference, 58 RR2d 629, 639 (1985); Public Notice, 49 RR2d
1524 (1981). Southwest's waiver showing has been further
buttressed by the attached letter of Mike Schweitzer, Vice
President and General Manager of WCPX-TV.
WHEREFORE, it is respectfully requested that FPR's Petition
to Dismiss or Motion to Deny be summarily rejected or denied.
Respectfully requested,

Mr. Bob AugsburgWAYJ-FMP.O.Box 061275Fort Myers, FL 33906
Dear Mr. Augsburg,
I received your letter requesting WCPX's cooperation in yourseeking of a license for 88.3MHz, Channel 202.
As I explained on the phone, co-loca tion wi th the WCPX, Ch 6transmitter is not possible due to the present lack of space on ourtower. This tower is jointly owned by WCPX and WFTV and has otherbroadcasters on it, virtually filling the tower to capacity. Colocation would be my first choice is the room were available.
If you secure a position on the Gannet tower, which isapproximately one and one quarter miles from the WCPX transmitter,and intend to cooperate on any and all 88.3MHz induced interferenceproblems, WCPX is more than willing to cooperate with you on yourlicense seeking.
My experience has been that proper receiver antenna installationsand FM trap filters can do a lot to eliminate TVI problems. In analready crowded spectrum, cooperation is the only way we can allexist.
Respectfully,
