[BC] Class A FM Shortspace Question

[Dana Puopolo]

I was turned down once when someone who filed comments to deny (forst adjacent
station) claimed that "ONLY 76 ACRES" of the 300 + acres where the allotment
fit were park lands and wetlands. Apparently, 76 acres isn't enough space to
put a 200 foot self supporting tower.

Moral: If you have a well connected attorney, the FCC BENDS OVER for you!!!

I will  grant you that you cannot pick a 
point in the ocean upon which the station  could never be built and 
expect it to be used for the allocation.   Yes, in that example, the site 
has to be buildable site but on the other  hand if it (the proposed site) 
were a protected wetlands (or Indian burial  grounds) area where there 
was no chance in hell of ever building a  facility the commission will 
still amend the table of allocations and  allow you to propose a short 
spaced transmitter site.  Once the table  is amended it is up to you to 
make it work.

This brings up an interesting question.  If a station were built on a  
permanently-moored ship in a harbor, bay or just offshore, would this be 
considered 
a "buildable" location for license purposes?
