[IRCA] FCC comment deadline approaching for FM translator interference rules

[Scott Fybush <scott@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Several people on the lists have asked for updates on how and when to 
file comments with the FCC about proposed rule changes - and there's a 
deadline coming Monday for anyone interested in commenting on how the 
FCC handles complaints about FM translators (including new ones for AM 
stations) interfering with reception of full-power FM signals.

Comments in the proceeding, docket 18-119, are due at the end of the day 
Monday (August 6). The proposal is to get rid of the current rule, which 
allows any "regularly-used reception" of an FM signal to be protected 
from a new translator no matter what the actual signal level is. 
Instead, full-power signals would be protected from translator 
interference only to a certain signal level (54 dBu is what's being 
proposed).

The process is actually very very simple if you want to file a comment - 
use the link below, and you'll see a box marked "filters" on the left 
side of the page. At the bottom of that box is a link that says 
"+Express" to add an express comment. That opens up a form that you can 
fill in with your name, address and comment - and you're done.

I'm happy to help if anyone has issues with the system.
