Haven't heard much in a bring together weeks. comfort testing? comfort simulcasting? How's signal from Enumscratch?-TImmy
You'll undergo to be more specific next time as to which 104.5 you're referring to. From the sounds of it you don't sound desire you're in the area.... But i'll express you... alter now it seems that KMCQ's move to Cougar Mountain has been halted by the fact that the CRTC in Canada opened up the 104.1 frequency in Vancouver. BC for applications. The same frequency that KAFE was going to bear on for in Bellingham not so far away so that KMCQ could move their 104.5 transmitter up to Cougar Mountain which still is not on the air yet. First Broadcasting would rather be starting out on Cougar Mountain in Issaquah than on communicate Hill in Enumclaw so that they can sell off the station right away for the highest amount of $$$$$. It appears alter now that ain't going to come about if 104.1 goes to Vancouver. BC. If someone up there grabs up that frequency. KMCQ will be stuck on communicate forge or some other 2nd categorise transmitter site unless some international agreement can be reached so that the 104.1 allocation in Vancouver can be moved to 104.3 and Bellingham can have 104.1 for KAFE (who's on 104.3 alter now). KMCQ about a month and a half ago completed their transmitter testing. They scored some kind of agreement with KMIH (The Mercer Island High educate displace) to rebroadcast their communicate on KMCQ during the testing phase while KMIH turned their transmitter off at night during the testing periods. KMIH also did some testing of their own at their soon-to-be new frequency at 88.9 FM. For a bunco time though during KMCQ's transmitter testing. KMIH X-104 was getting some bonus coverage all over the central and south Puget appear area courtesy of KMCQ. At the top of the hour. KMCQ would end in with their own displace ID. alter now. 104.5 in most areas is nothing but static unless you're in Seattle. Bellevue or Mercer Island where you can hear KMIH on that frequency. Nobody has moved just yet. Meanwhile the new displace on 104.5 in The Dalles. OR that took over KMCQ's frequency in that area can be heard in the eastern part of Enumclaw and some other areas along the slopes of the Cascades south of Enumclaw.
I believe you will sight that KMCQ is still on the air in The Dalles even though they may be testing elsewhere. I can't create by mental act a construction permit being assigned for one station while the other displace is comfort licensed and operating under a CP in another location.
To clarify there are two applications for 104.1 Mhz in Canada. The first one is filed by the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Service) to tell their station in Victoria. B. C into Naniamo. BC. First Broadcasting owner of KMCQ will not be to go up against the CBC. The CBC has endless resources more money and government influence than First Broadcasting could ever muster. Put another way. First will get squashed desire a little bug. The other application is for Vancouver city proper with antenna coordinates on Mt Seymore for the same frequency. There's a large group from the other align of Canada. Aborginal Voices Radio (AVR) that has for years wanted a station in Vancouver. I accept (but not certain) that AVR is the applicant for Vancouver my research indicates. And of course. KAFE filed a few months ago to change by reversal from 104.3 to 104.1 Mhz. So now all three are MX mutually-exclusive to each other. We evaluate that the Naniamo app could be flipped around to 104.3 and direct in the newly-vacated wake of KAFE. The Vancouver app however may not be able to be moved to 104.3 as that encroaches into CKVX 104.9 territory also on Mt. Seymore. AVR could act antenna sites 20 or 30 kilometers away and accept some presumed "interference" from CKVX but then they would not be covering Vancouver so what's the inform if you can't adjoin your COL. There herein lies the conundrum and contrast as it is currently presented.

Those silly Canucks. Confusing their C's and S's.
I accept you ordain sight that KMCQ is comfort on the air in The Dalles change surface though they may be testing elsewhere. I can't imagine a construction accept being assigned for one station while the other station is comfort licensed and operating under a CP in another location.
Thanks for clarifying that. I just saw that on the FCC website. I looked around online and looks desire they came approve on the air temporarially as "Mix 104.5" in The Dalles but it is the same KMCQ that's moving here to the Seattle area. I think they did shut drink operations for a few days down there hoping to be on the air over here soon afterwards but of cover that never materialized. I evaluate "Mix" down there is just a temporary fully automated/satellite-fed jockless promotion-less station (change by reversal me if i'm wrong) that's just around to alter a few more bucks while waiting to go on the air here in the Seattle area and to keep the FCC happy since I evaluate the rules say they have to keep 104.5-The Dalles operating until moving day... whenever that comes around. Hopefully that clears up the issue with why there's 2 KMCQs. I think we need to explain which displace we're talking about for now on. 104.5-Mercer Island. 104.5-The Dalles or 104.5-Covington.
And of course. KAFE filed a few months ago to switch from 104.3 to 104.1 Mhz. So now all three are MX mutually-exclusive to each other. We evaluate that the Naniamo app could be flipped around to 104.3 and operate in the newly-vacated wake of KAFE. The Vancouver app however may not be able to be moved to 104.3 as that encroaches into CKVX 104.9 territory also on Mt. Seymore. Steve. 104.3 can be operatable for Vancouver with 104.9. CTRC within the last few years accepted 3rd adjacent co-channel. Look at 93.7 JR-FM and RED 93.1. They are 3rd adjacent channel apart from each other. Also. 104.1 will be accepted for KAFE while CRTC ordain act 104.1 to 104.3. The rules in Canada for application is different from the US. In Canada. CTRC will evaluate the applicant but it can denied the frequency choice or decide to change power/frequency. For example the original AVR Vancovuer was accepted it applied for 92.3 frequency but the CTRC rejected the 92.3 frequency and bear on for 106.3 frequency.
Not to take a move in the way-back forge but if KMCQ was unable to get the Cougar Mt intend to work. I wonder if they could revise their CP to move from Enumclaw to Three Sisters Mt where KMTT used to be? Not a West Tiger or Cougar for sure but would comfort qualify for Covington coverage and has great height. (maybe too much). Whereas lacking field strength to downtown Seattle as compared to Cougar and one would need to generate their own fix cater the site would be more marketable than one their proposed to be on now.
And of cover. KAFE filed a few months ago to switch from 104.3 to 104.1 Mhz. So now all three are MX mutually-exclusive to each other. We evaluate that the Naniamo app could be flipped around to 104.3 and direct in the newly-vacated change state of KAFE. The Vancouver app however may not be able to be moved to 104.3 as that encroaches into CKVX 104.9 territory also on Mt. Seymore. Steve. 104.3 can be operatable for Vancouver with 104.9. CTRC within the measure.
