You're right about it being moot now with the Kahuku filing, but prior to that, there is a spot near Makaha that
KNAN could have used to go C1 even with KUHI remaining as is. From that spot, a C1 would cover Nanakuli which
would be required for an upgrade. Being able to show that there is a site to legally put a C1 would allow them
to file under 73.215 and put the transmitter up above Makakilo. The only area of interference would be over water
so it would be pretty smooth sailing. These type of upgrades fly through the FCC pretty quickly now under the new
rules. Three to four months at most but it's too late now. They are really screwed unless they write Vic Michael a
REALLY big check and I'm assuming the reason they got into this situation to begin with is they have no money
so don't hold your breath on that one.
