In re: WPDI(FM), Haziet, NJ
Cantico Nuevo Ministry Inc.
Facility ID No.: 70644
BPED-20180122AAL

Dear Applicant:
This letter refers to the above-captioned application for Class D FM Station WPDI(FM) to increase the
antenna height.
An engineering study of the application reveals that it is in violation of 47 C.F.R. § 73.51 1.1 Specifically,
the application proposes a Class D facility with 0.01 kilowatt effective radiated power (ERP) at 141
meters antenna height above average terrain (HAAT). The 1 mV/rn contour reference distance for the
proposed facility is 7 kilometers. Thus, pursuant to § 73.21 1(a)(3), the application specifies a Class A
facility. This violation constitutes an acceptance defect.
In light of the above, Application File No. BPED-20180122AAL is unacceptable for filing pursuant
to 47 C.F.R. § 73 .3566(a) and IS HEREBY DISMISSED. This action is taken pursuant to 47 C.F.R.
§ 0.283.
Sincerely,

£.
