As an interested party, Roxanne tries to keep up with translator applications in the area.
The latest batch of apps has oozed out of the FCC. Here are some Roxanne found in the immediate area.
These are for existing AM stations that want to add an FM translator without paying for one by buying an existing property.
Capstar/iHeart has applied for 92.9 in Bellevue for KIXI. 99 Watts at 67 meters above sea level. Apparently not at the AM site, but on the hill just east of Factoria near the big water tank.
Seattle Sub License/Hubbard wants 96.1 for KKNW. Also 99 watts at 67 meters AMSL. Same site as KIXI translator.
Bonneville seeks 94.5 for KTTH. With 25 watts at 16 meters, that looks like a mast on the roof of the studio building. This is probably just the first jab at something with more coverage when all the new translator competition is known.
Bustos applied for 101.3 for KMIA at the 1210 AM site on Highway 18 in Auburn. 250 Watts at 24 meters.
The Clay Huntington Legacy has asked for 107.3 for KLAY. 250 Watts at 110 meters above sea level, apparently from the AM site.
In Mt. Vernon, J&J wants 102.9 for KBRC. 250 Watts at 30 meters above ground. Roxanne's guessing without looking that it's the AM site.
In Lacey, Iglesia Pentecostal etc. wants to put KLDY on 92.1 with 99 Watts. App specifies the massive KBRD/KLDY/KGTK AM erection, but as a previously unsuccessful applicant to use that tower, Roxanne believes this application is bogus for lack of permission of the tower owner, which is the KBRD organization. Roxanne was told that this tower lacks the guy wire length to handle more loading beyond the AM tower itself and associated lighting.
2 other apps for 'Way' in Blaine, plus more at Yakima, Tri Cities, Spokane, Centralia and so on. But this is the Seattle board, so I'll stop.
