The antenna height requirement for the LPFM 100 watt license is actually 30 meter HAAT (height above average terrain); not tower height. The have a HAAT calculator on the FCC website. The bottom line is; if your site is on top of a large hill or mountain, even a zero height antenna is too tall.
Simulcating on part 15 AM is a great idea. Since the LPFM signal will only go 3-10 miles, retransmitting the signal via part 15 AM will cover the more remote villages.
