propose to fill in a LOCAL station.  Keep NCEs in the reserved band, 
including translators.  Oh, and the contour distance for an L0 would be 
18 km. (250 watts at 100 meters = 18.5 km to the 54 dBu contour)

And put Eureka 147 on Ch. 2, 3, and/or 4 - 56 - 72 MHz.

Allow new translators that propose to "fill in" a Class D AM station's 
night-time service area to match the daytime service area, to the 1 mV/m
