<br />. Mr. 'lborpe - Replied that there is a slim chance .K'lWN would rent s};ace to other <br />antennas; K'lWN doesn' t fit because of frequency allocations and there is no <br />reason for others to come here for that same reason. <br /> <br />Ms. Penna - Stated she has done sane research and found out that this type of <br />FM output will blanket out cuw other EM receivers of a snaller nature (cordless <br />telephones, walkie-talkies, boan boxes) within a 6 mile radius. Is.K'lWN <br />willing to say that they will adjust all of these utilities at no cost to users <br />in the area? <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Mr. '!borpe - Replied that FCC requires broadcasters to make adj ustments and <br />noted that these residents are within 6 miles of IcrWN' s present 100,000 wattage <br />signal and IcrWN has received no complaints regarding interference. <br /> <br />Gary Fries - Stated that he CMOS several radio stations and the citizen concern <br />is valid and common. '!he main thing to realize is that there will be no <br />increase in pJWer and the current operation will cease. '!be raising of the <br />antenna is actually a major reduction in the amount of pJWer source applicable <br />to cuw surrounding area. FCC mandates that radio transnitters not cause <br />interference; if it does occur, he pranises as the CMner of K'IWN, that IcrWN is <br />required ~ FCC to correct the situation; but, K'IWN cannot be res{X>nsible for <br />every Ja};anese rej ect that develops interference problans. Never had a <br />situation where a solution has not been made within days; in R'lWNI s best <br />interest to solve cuw problans. <br /> <br />Vernon Brand - 17045 Armstrong Blvd. - Stated that he ooesnlt want the tCMer <br />constructed in this residential neighborhood. Irx:.Iuired if the tCMer would be <br />taxed commercially. <br /> <br />Mr. Fries - Stated that IcrWN has no opposition to being taxed commercially. <br /> <br />Mr. Brand - Stated that there will be a lot of birds getting killed ~ flying <br />into the tCMer and guy wires. <br /> <br />Mr. '!borpe - Stated Mr. Brandis concern for the birds is legitimate. '!be <br />nllllber of bird kills at tCMers 1000 I and less is insignificant; not that every <br />bird doesn I t count. <br /> <br />Mr. Fries - Stated that he assumes the new tCMer would be taxed the same as the <br />existing facility and that facility p:tys a fair amount of taxes. <br /> <br />Orville Gorton - 16901 Armstrong Blvd. - Stated that if. the tCMer itself only <br />consunes less than one acre, wlw canlt the tCMer ranain in operation at it's <br />present location? <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Mr. 'lhorpe - Replied that the tCMer height at the existing location cannot be <br />raised because R'lWNwants to cooperate with Gateway North airport expansion; <br />K'lWN1 s present location is too close to the airport. <br /> <br />Orville Gorton - In:;Iuired hCM K'lWN can do this to Ramsey I s farmland. <br /> <br />Mr. '!borpe - Replied that the actual ground space consumed ~ the tower is 1/2 <br />June 25, 1985 <br /> <br />Page 3 of 7 <br />
