§  80.70   Special conditions relative to coast station VHF facilities.

   (a) Coast stations which transmit on the same radio channel above 150
   MHz must minimize interference by reducing radiated power, by
   decreasing antenna height or by installing directional antennas. Coast
   stations at locations separated by less than 241 kilometers (150 miles)
   which transmit on the same radio channel above 150 MHz must also
   consider a time-sharing arrangement. The Commission may order station
   changes if agreement cannot be reached between the involved licensees.

   (b) Coast stations which transmit on a radio channel above 150 MHz and
   are located within interference range of any station within Canada or
   Mexico must minimize interference to the involved foreign station(s),
   and must notify the Commission of any station changes.

   (c) A VHF (156-162 MHz) public coast licensee initially authorized on
   any of the channels listed in the table in §  80.371(c)(1), or an AMTS
   licensee initially authorized on any of the channel blocks listed in
   the table in §  80.385(a)(2), may transfer or assign its channel(s), or
   channel block(s), to another entity. If the proposed transferee or
   assignee is the geographic area licensee for the geographic area to
   which the frequency block is allocated, such transfer or assignment
   will be deemed to be in the public interest. However, such presumption
   will be rebuttable.

   [ 51 FR 31213 , Sept. 2, 1986, as amended at  63 FR 40063 , July 27, 1998;
    67 FR 48564 , July 25, 2002]
