It may help at least it shows you tried to follow the FCC Rules. As far as the NOUO it probably depends on the reason. If it is because your over part 15:239 it would depend on how much you were over. You could try and pleed to the FCC that you’ll turn the power down or purchase a transmitter that will be more compliant and ask for another inspection in order to operate? I don’t know. In the case of the operator of the talking house AM transmitter in Origon that station was defunct. Now there was another case where a boy lived in a 24 story apartment and because of the height his part 15 FM transmitter went several miles. A station complained and the FCC showed up and ordered him to stop operating. It went to court and the boy won as the judge told the FCC that they had no right to tell the boy where he could live. His station continued and he again went miles not feet. So sometimes you can win but your station has to be squeaky clean and not go over the 250 uV/M on FM or over the 100 mW and 3 meter antenna and ground lead rule for AM which the talking house actually puts out 92.5 mW (less than the maximum legal limit). But and here is the big but no one said you can not run a THICK copper pipe and that would get you out further. Thicker and shorter could work better than thinner and longer. Something to think about.
