In re: WESS(FM), East Stroudsburg, PA
Facility ID No. 18247
East Stroudsburg University of
Pennsylvania
BPED-20 1203 O8AAP
Dear Applicant:
This letter refers to the above-captioned minor change educational non-commercial construction
permit application filed to modify the broadcast facilities of WESS(FM).
An engineering study of the application reveals that it is in violation of 47 C.F.R. § 73.509, with
respect to co-channel Class A License (BLED- 19931 223KF), WXLV(FM), Schnecksville, PA.
Specifically, the proposed protected contour (60 dBu) would receive prohibited overlap from the
interfering contour (40 dBu) of WXLV by a much as 2.4 kilometers between the azimuths from
1 76°T to 208°T. This constitutes an acceptance defect.
In light of the above, Application BPED-20120308AAP is unacceptable for filing pursuant to 47
C.F.R. § 73.3 566(a) and is HEREBY DISMISSED. This action is taken pursuant to 47 C.F.R.
§ 0.283.

Sincerely,

Rodolfo F. Bonacci
Assistant Chief
