But are not derated for height: if you can give adequate contour
protection to the existing stations, you can put your 250-watt
translator on a tall tower or mountain and get better-than-class-A
coverage.  This is most likely to work if you squeeze your translator
in between two full-power stations on a channel where there is an
out-of-market station far enough away that it doesn't need much
protection, but close enough to prevent a new full-power allotment in
your home market.
