font-family:Calibri'>As I have first-hand experience in this area of our
Industry for 18 years and experience in the technology going back some 60
years, can I offer you my current view on this?<br>
Ofcom originally said that the onus was on the Applicant to specify his
Community and how he proposed covering it.<br>
That inevitability involved the location and power required to produce viable
coverage.<br>
Very subtly they then introduced this concept of "typically a 5km
radius" which is not as far as I can see laid down in legislation anywhere
- and was essentially a guide for the uninitiated.<br>
Ofcom now however seems to be trying to use it - quite wrongly I submit - as a
statute of limitation.<br>
The fact speak for themselves:<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:12.0pt;
font-family:Calibri'>Of the 229 CR FM stations currently on air, 38 (17%) have
been allocated power in excess of the 25 + 25 "norm" - either because
they put in a sound case for it - or were awarded it by Ofcom by virtue of
taking over an existing allocation or in compensation for illegal broadcast
activity in their area.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:12.0pt;
font-family:Calibri'>Of the remainder, 209 are using 25W vertical, but only 48
(21%) have taken the sound step of employing a horizontal component in
addition.<br>
The sad truth is that very few CR Licensees are sufficiently clued up on how
best they should be serving their audience - and 83% have not achieved
more than the the basic "offer".<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
