FAQ: Can I use a directional antenna to address a second adjacent waiver issue?

Select FAQ Category:

Yes, but I only recommend it when your 100 dBu interference contour slightly overlaps the primary station's service contour. The FCC has already warned against using directional antennas that would result in a significant population loss vs. a non-directional antenna at the same site. Using directional antennas require additional engineering both during the application process and then prior to going on the air.
