The ownership of an FCC-licensed international broadcast station on the shortwave band would generally not be considered an attributable interest that would prevent LPFM ownership. LPFM (Low-Power FM) stations are subject to specific ownership and eligibility rules set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). These rules typically focus on ownership interests in full-power commercial or non-commercial stations.

Since international broadcast stations on the shortwave band serve a different purpose and have a different regulatory framework compared to LPFM stations, owning an international broadcast station should not typically interfere with the ownership of an LPFM station. However, it’s advisable to consult with the FCC or seek legal advice to ensure compliance with all relevant regulations and to address any specific circumstances that may apply.
