There are different regulations conerning transmitteroperation amongst
different licenses (non commercial, comemrcial, etc).. and maybe Powell can
chime in here.
But... WPEB would not be allowed to use that transmitter. A transmitter for
use by an FCC licensed radio station has to be Type Accepted/Certified and I
have a feeling that one ISN'T.
Also, if WPEB is going to upgrade their best bet is to reach Class A Status.
All they have to do is meet a 100W ERP, but not 100 feet. They could run
100W from 5 feet HAAT and make Class A Status.
WPEB, as a Class D, could be thrown off by something as small as a
translator.
(I know an FM station licensed for 1KW at 3 feet)
