Re:

Request for Further Extension of Time to Amend License Application
KLKI(FM), Dolan Springs, Arizona (FIN: 90917)

Dear Ms. Dortch:
On behalf of Educational Media Foundation (“EMF”), permittee of KLKI(FM), Dolan
Springs, Arizona, this letter is to request a further extension of time to amend the pending
KLKI(FM) license application. See FCC File No. BLED-20100125ADU.
On January 25, 2010, EMF filed the KLKI(FM) covering license application and
concurrently requested PTA. On January 29, 2010, the Commission denied EMF’s request for
PTA, File No. 20100125AIO, due to the potential for human exposure to radiofrequency
radiation (“RFR”) in excess of applicable safety standards. By its letter, the Commission
requested that EMF provide an amendment to the license application, within 30 days, to provide
documentation of compliance with the Special Operating Conditions in the construction permit
related to RFR compliance. See BMPED-20100104AAJ. EMF requested and the Commission
granted an extension of time to amend on March 1, 2010 and June 1, 2010, August 2, 2010 and
the Commission’s most recent extension extends through August 31, 2010. Since August 1,
coordinated the move of its antenna with the co-tenants at the tower site in early August. Shortly
thereafter, EMF discovered that the new installation caused some interference to a co-tenant and
on August 7, 2010 EMF discontinued KLKI’s low power operation pending a resolution. EMF
now believes the interference has been remedied and the aforementioned RF issues have been
resolved but EMF is unable to test and take measurements at the tower site until early September
due to engineer availability. Accordingly, EMF hereby requests an extension of time, up to and
including September 30, 2010, within which to amend the KLKI(FM) license application. In the
interim, KLKI(FM) will recommence operations at approximately 60% of its authorized power,
as authorized by the FCC in its March 1, 2010 letter, if it is determined that KLKI is no longer
causing interference to its co-tenant.
Grant of program test authority at reduced power is in the public interest, as it will allow
for the continuation of service to the public and enable the community of Dolan Springs, Arizona
to receive the noncommercial, educational programming broadcast over KLKI(FM).
