Green, Pocahontas County, West
Virginia, and at the Naval Radio
Research Observatory at Sugar Grove,
Pendleton County, West Virginia, a
licensee proposing to operate a short-
term broadcast auxiliary station
pursuant to 47 CFR 74.24, and any
applicant for authority to construct a
new broadcast station, or for authority
to make changes in the frequency,
power, antenna height, or antenna
directivity of an existing station within
the area bounded by 39°15′ N on the
north, 78°30′ W on the east, 37°30′ N on
the south, and 80°30′ W on the west,

station, including the geographical
coordinates of the antenna, antenna
height, antenna directivity if any,
proposed frequency, type of emission
and power. The notification shall be
made prior to, or simultaneously with,
the filing of the application with the
Commission. After receipt of such
applications, the FCC will allow a
period of 20 days for comments or
