FAQ Tag: petition
I have heard about a potential power increase for LPFM (Low Power FM) stations scheduled for approximately two years from now. What is the process for applying for this power increase when it becomes available?
As of the latest information available, there are currently no provisions in place to allow LPFM (Low Power FM) stations to operate with more than 100 watts at 30 meters height above average terrain (5.6 km service contour). However, there have been discussions and petitions filed with the FCC to potentially increase the power limit for LPFM stations.
