Minutes - Senate Meeting //20 October 17, 1978 Page 2 FCC President White read a letter from the FCC concerning the application for the station: A preliminary study of your application, tendered for filing on May 19, 1978, for a construction permit for a new noncommercial educational FM broadcast station on Channel 218 (91.5 MHz) in Las Vegas, Nevada, reveals the following engineering deficiency: You list an efficiency of 93.2% for your proposed length and type of transmission line. Our study, however, indicates that the efficiency is approximate ly 98.9%. Accordingly, your application is being considered with a transmission line efficiency of 98.9% and a transmitter power output of 9.9kW, so as to maintain the proposed effective radiated power of 14.7 kW. A response to this letter is not necessary unless you disagree with this finding.
