WILLFUL FALSE STATEMENTS ON THIS FORM ARE PUNISHABLE BY FINE AND/OR IMPRISONMENT (U.S. CODE, TITLE 18, SECTION 1001), AND/OR REVOCATION OF ANY STATION LICENSE OR CONSTRUCTION PERMIT (U.S. CODE, TITLE 47, SECTION 312(a)(1)), AND/OR FORFEITURE (U.S. CODE, TITLE 47, SECTION 503).



Exhibits
Exhibit 21
Description:
REASON FOR STA/TECHNICAL SUMMARY

REASON FOR STA - STATION WOTV-DT WILL BE REPLACING ITS TOP-MOUNTED ANALOG ANTENNA WITH ITS CURRENTLY LICENSED NONDIRECTIONAL DTV ANTENNA WHICH WILL RESULT IN AN INCREASE IN HAAT FROM 311 METERS TO 329 METERS. IN ADDITION, IT IS PROPOSED TO DECREASE THE NONDIRECTIONAL ERP FROM 270 KW TO 255 KW. AN APPLICATION FOR CONSTRUCTION PERMIT IS BEING SEPARATELY FILED TO IMPLEMENT THIS CHANGE. AS THIS PROPOSAL WILL REQUIRE CANADIAN COORDINATION, THE INSTANT STA IS BEING FILED IN ORDER TO PERMIT CONSTRUCTION OF THE PROPOSED FACILITIES AT REDUCED ERP (195 KW) WHILE AWAITING CANADIAN COORDINATION OF THE SEPARATELY FILED APPLICATION FACILITIES.

INTERFERENCE COMPLIANCE - BOTH PRE-TRANSITION AND POST-TRANSITION OET-69 INTERFERENCE ANALYSES WERE CONDUCTED AND THE RESULTS INDICATE THAT NO PROHIBITED INTERFERENCE WILL BE CAUSED TO ANY PERTINENT STATIONS.

COVERAGE COMPLIANCE - AS INDICATED ON FIGURE 1, THE PREDICTED STA 41 DBU CONTOUR IS COMPLETELY WITHIN WOTV-DTS LICENSED 41 DBU CONTOUR. IN ADDITION, THE PROPOSAL WILL PROVIDE THE REQUISITE CITY GRADE COVERAGE TO BATTLE CREEK.

RFR COMPLIANCE - THE PROPOSED FACILITIES WERE EVALUATED IN TERMS OF POTENTIAL RADIO FREQUENCY (RF) ENERGY EXPOSURE AT GROUND LEVEL TO WORKERS AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC. THE RADIATION CENTER FOR THE PROPOSED DTV ANTENNA IS LOCATED 286 METERS ABOVE GROUND LEVEL. THE MAXIMUM DTV ERP IS 195 KW (HORIZONTAL POLARIZATION). A WORST-CASE VERTICAL PLANE RELATIVE FIELD VALUE OF 0.1 (FOR ANGLES BELOW 60 DEGREES DOWNWARD) IS PRESUMED FOR THE ANTENNA'S DOWNWARD RADIATION (SEE FIGURE 2). THE CALCULATED POWER DENSITY AT A POINT 2 METERS ABOVE GROUND LEVEL IS 0.0008 MW/CM2. THIS IS 0.24% OF THE FCC'S RECOMMENDED LIMIT OF 0.339 MW/CM2 FOR CHANNEL 20 FOR AN UNCONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT. THEREFORE, BASED ON THE RESPONSIBILITY THRESHOLD OF 5%, THE PROPOSAL WILL COMPLY WITH THE RF EMISSION RULES.

ACCESS TO THE TRANSMITTING SITE WILL BE RESTRICTED AND APPROPRIATELY MARKED WITH RFR WARNING SIGNS. FURTHERMORE, AS THIS IS A MULTI-USER SITE, A PROTOCOL WILL BE IN EFFECT WITH THE OTHER STATIONS IN THE EVENT THAT WORKERS OR OTHER AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ENTER THE RESTRICTED AREA OR CLIMB THE TOWER TO ENSURE THAT APPROPRIATE MEASURES WILL BE TAKEN TO ASSURE WORKER SAFETY WITH RESPECT TO RADIO FREQUENCY RADIATION EXPOSURE. SUCH MEASURES INCLUDE REDUCING THE AVERAGE EXPOSURE BY SPREADING OUT THE WORK OVER A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME, WEARING ACCEPTED RFR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND/OR RFR EXPOSURE.

FINALLY, IT IS NOTED THAT THIS TECHNICAL EXHIBIT ONLY ADDRESSES THE POTENTIAL FOR RADIO FREQUENCY ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD EXPOSURE. ALL OTHER ASPECTS OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROCESSING ANALYSIS WILL BE OR ALREADY HAS BEEN PROVIDED TO THE FCC BY THE TOWER OWNER AS PART OF THE TOWER REGISTRATION PROCESS.
