Applications submitted and Special Temporary Authority requested

• Landover 2 LLC has modified its application for a new station on channel 51 in Yuma, due to channel 51 being cleared as a buffer between television and broadband uses. Technical specifications: Ch 32; TL 32-41-41 N, 114-36-45 W (South Park Industrial Dist.); ERP 1 kW directional; HAAT 42 m.
• The FCC has recommended granting a construction permit to K51HV Cottonwood (Regal Media, Inc.) to flash cut to digital on channel 35. A 30-day period to file an opposition to the proposal ends October 18. Technical specifications: Ch 35; TL 34-42-4 N, 112-7-4 W (Mingus Mtn.); ERP 0.9 kW non-directional; HAAT 840 m.
• KUDF-LP 14 Tucson (LM Media Group, Inc.) has superseded its digital flash cut application, correcting the longitude of the transmitter location, changing antenna from Jampro JA/LS-CF-16 to ERI AL8WX-14-PL, changing the azimuth pattern, reducing the height of the center of radiation, increasing ERP from 5 kW to 10.8 kW, adding an electrical beam tilt of 1.75°, and changing the emission mask from "stringent" to "simple". An interference study shows a shortfall in separation to a co-channel digital allotment to Magdalena, Son., but the study is based on a 1000 kW full power station, as there is no agreement for low power stations. LM Media Group asserts that there will be no actual interference. Mexican concurrence is still pending. Technical specifications: Ch 14; TL 32-24-54 N, 110-42-56 W (Mt.

The proposed ERP increases from 0.1 kW to 0.5 kW, the pattern rotation shifts from 79° to 225°, and the antenna switches from a Scala PR-450U to a Scala 4DR-16-2HW. Technical specifications: Ch 35; TL 36-49-56 N, 114-3-31 W (Mesquite Airport); ERP 0.5 kW directional; HAAT -73 m. (17 m. AGL)
