True, but so what? The fact of the matter remains a highly populated area in Wayne County (not necessarily by Wayne County standards but certainly by general U.S. population standards) within WIOT's protected contour received destructive interference from Smooth Jazz 104.7.However, my assertion still stands about the 54 dBu. It really doesn't reach the large majority of Detroit Metro. And the 45 dBu assertion stands. There are over 2,100,000 persons in Oakland and Macomb County according to 2019 estimates. Only a handful of listeners in Oakland County would be able to complain today, none in Macomb.
The Martz business plan was so horribly executed on so many different levels.
I completely agree with that. However, I don't think interference that affects a full power station's 40 dBu or 44 dBu, for example, should be actionaable.Look, if you're concerned about interference, it shouldn't be sacred cow formats only that are protected.
Interference that affects their 54 dBu or even 50 dBu should *definitely* be actionable, unless we're talking about a scenario where the dBu is calculated on the basis of phony plots that fail to consider major terrain obstructions (such as mountains).
Sadly, the FCC doesn't give a rat's ass about complaints directly filed by the general public when it comes to such matters. Only licensed engineers and radio station management can file such complaints.
So you intentionally lied? How nice.I knew that. Just wanted to know if you noticed that fccdata.org has a lot of errors and limitations, like not displaying DAs properly, and still no Canadian stations in a lot of searches.
