Hello! The process of obtaining our FM permit has been, in a word, interesting…

I’ll give you the highlights of what we’ve been through so far.

First of all, I want to clarify that our permit is for one of the new low power FM (LPFM) stations, which require FCC licensure. We filed our original application in September of 2000, and were displaced about three weeks later due to Congressional action requiring third-adjacent channel protection for LPFM stations.

Following a two-year wait, we were finally able to file a “remedial” application to correct our short spacing to a nearby third-adjacent Class B1 FM. Our remedial application was accepted for filing in early 2003, and was granted on June 30 of the same year.

The grant of our construction permit was announced on July 3, 2003, and our call sign, WPKC-LP, was granted on July 10. Our license application was filed on December 21, 2004 and accepted for filing the very next day.

The license application is still pending, but expected to be granted any day. WPKC-LP is authorized to operate at 95.5 FM with 100 watts effective radiated power.

Our city of license is West Frankfort, IL a city of just over 8,000 people in far southern Illinois. During our testing phases, we were able to hear a solid signal 15 miles from the antenna.

At the present time, there are no additional filing windows scheduled for LPFM stations. If and when windows are reopened, they will likely be for 10-watt stations.

The LPFM application process is lengthy and aggravating, but still well worth it! Nothing compares to the feeling of pride and accomplishment found in bringing local radio back to your community, as I am sure you already know.

I hope that this has been helpful to you, and I wish you the best in your future.

Best Regards,

Scott

Here is a Updated list of ideas for a Part 15 AM Transmitter kit Design. the fact that people pay $1k for a crystal controlled transmitter, makes me think a kit like this would sell great…

1) Modulation should be capable of 100% Negative and 150% Positive Modulation

2) Unit should be 2 peice with a Modulator in one and the RF Deck in a Pole mounted sealed housing

3) Output should be 50 ohms

4) Final should be switchable between 100mw and 1 watt input levels

5) Final RF components should be rated for 5 watts
to make the final RF stage indestructable from high VSWR.

6) Modulator should be Class “A” with the final RF being Class “E” output

7) Transmitter should include a built in output tuning meter to aid in tuning antenna.

8) Transmitter should employ a Dual loop PLL w/TCXO

9) Audio input should be 600 Balanced +4dbm and RCA unbalanced -10mv and should be transformerless

10) Audio response should be from 10 to 10,000Hz, with the ability to pass low frequency square waves with no tilt or overshoot

11) Audio and power leads should employ ferrite beads to keep studio lines from being least resistance to ground

12) Two ground options should be available. one sized to #10 and #8 lugs

13) Power supply should be filtered in the unit itself and include onboard regulation and filtering and power input should be 110v 3 prong grounded plug like found on computer power supplies. unit should also have filtered 12Vdc input as well.

14) Transmitter should be synchronizable

15) Unit should be a kit and cost no more than $400.00
