What's the Frequency?
By Lee Nichols, Fri., Feb. 18, 2000
Ø By FCC rules, a station can be no closer to another station than the second-adjacent slot. Ideally, this would allow for as many as 16 new frequencies on the Austin dial.
O Under the new rules, however, microradio stations will have to be no closer than the third-adjacent slot, leaving only two open frequencies on Austin's FM dial.
Austin currently has a "pirate" microradio station operating in a second-adjacent slot at 97.1, which would not be allowed under the new rules.
