105.1 LPFM in Portland

[Sid Schweiger]

>> How is that an LPFM could be authorized to operate on an in-use
frequency? Authorizing a 105.1 LPFM in Portland would seem to fly in
the face of any reasonable or rational distance and spacing
requirements.<<

The frequency is not in use (by FCC definition) in Portland, which is
outside WTOS' 60-dBu contour.

>>Why would an LPFM operator willingly subject his/her own station to
interference from a full-power station operating on the same
frequency?<<

Because to many LPFM operators, "I HAVE TO BE ON THE AIR" is the most
important consideration.
