<div>Thank you Ian, a better than good application included an extensive coverage business model. Ours was based on 20 plus years of RSL experience covering the same area from the same tx site on FM and from a second site in AM. How we work within the community,
 what we have and are giving back to the community etc ...</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The business model is not static either it has to evolve as the station evolves, readjusting the parameters. &nbsp;</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Back to coverage&nbsp;</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Did you do your calculations correctly</div>
<div>Did you allow for losses in cables&nbsp;</div>
<div>Are you using Vertical and Horizontal transmission (this does not mean two antenna by the way).&nbsp;</div>
<div>Is your tx site in the best possible place to get max coverage without being blocked by other hills, mountains etc</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Do an assessment. Drive around with the worst car radio you have and listen.&nbsp;</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If not re calculate, re adjust coatings and apply for a change.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;Best wishes for the new year.&nbsp;</div>

<div>If there is any CR who would like to visit or ask a question then please do. It has always been our policy to try and assist others if we can. I can explain the basics &nbsp;but can try and arrange for our transmission engineer to be available at your visit
 or find out a more detailed answer if one is required!&nbsp;</div>
<div><br>

<div>We have given offers of help and or advice to or engineering support to several CR stations and several pop up RSLs over the years country wide.&nbsp;</div>

<p class="gmail_msg"><span class="gmail_msg" style="font-size:12pt">Th &quot;5km radius&quot; was always the example used by Ofcom to give Applicants&nbsp;a typical range for a Community Radio&nbsp;</span>operation.<br class="gmail_msg">
<br>
<br>
It was never a rule or a limit.<br class="gmail_msg">
<br>
<br>
For some time recently it has seemed that&nbsp;Ofcom has been expressing 5km as some kind of limitation or&nbsp;norm - but I have always opposed this as wrong and indeed impractical whenever it has cropped up with our Clients.<br class="gmail_msg">
<br>
<br>
There is a parallel &quot;non-rule&quot; of power being limited to 25W vertical plus 25W horizontal,<br class="gmail_msg">
<br>
<br>
As I'm sure I've pointed out before - out of the 303 CR&nbsp;stations licensed, 38 (16% of those currently on air)&nbsp;have been allocated more than that&nbsp;&quot;norm&quot; - because they have shown Ofcom that it&nbsp;was necessary to fulfil their business model.<br class="gmail_msg">
<br>
<br>
The rest presumably haven't bothered - &nbsp;have been too&nbsp;scared to put their case - or have thought&nbsp;just 25W was enough or all they would get.<br class="gmail_msg">
<br>
<br>
And&nbsp;an amazing 85% of&nbsp;stations are not using the other half (the horizontal component)&nbsp;of their allocated power - effectively throwing away around&nbsp;40% of their licensed&nbsp;coverage.<br class="gmail_msg">
<br>
<br>
Why would you want to do that?<br class="gmail_msg">
<br>
<br>
>From the outset the premise from Ofcom&nbsp;was &quot;Tell us your Community - and tell us how you propose to cover it&quot;<br class="gmail_msg">
<br>
<br>
Your situation Nick as we have discussed is a little different.<br class="gmail_msg">
<br>
<br>
There are (or&nbsp;were) other outside reasons why you are being prevented from serving audience demand and I think now is the right time to put some more&nbsp;weight behind your very just&nbsp;cause.</p>
