FCC: maybe COL for translator does matter

J

W292DH Uniontown PA has a CP to move some 35 miles north to the middle of the Pittsburgh metro. Translator coverage of the city of license never mattered before, but it appears it does now, as the translator was denied an STA to go silent: http://licensing.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/prod/cdbs/forms/prod/getimportletter_exh.cgi?import_letter_id=60191

Personally, when translators are hopped out of range of the original COL,I think the translator should change to a COL as close to the new translator site as possible. Or, maybe just ditch the whole notion of COL for translators.
 
I think it's much simpler than that. Even translators are licensed to coordinates, height and antenna parameters. Moving a translator outside a couple meters is verboten.
