FCC Invites Input on C4 Proposal

Idea is to insert Class C4 between Class A, C3


SSR Communications CEO Matt Wesolowski and the Minority Media and Telecommunications Council have spearheaded the effort; Wesolowski owns a 5 kW Class A in Flora, Miss.

They say if approved, the Class C4 would enable many Class A facilities to upgrade to a maximum effective radiated power of 12 kW from a reference antenna height of 100 meters above average terrain.

Nearly 140 broadcasters had signed the C4 petition as of July 10 after organizers made a renewed push to the commission to take some action this spring. Now, the agency has issued a notice on the concept, triggering a 30-day comment period.

Public comments are due to the commission on RM 11727 by Aug. 18.
