Unfortunately, you cannot. This filing window is for FM translators, not for new stations. An FM translator is a "relay" station that rebroadcasts an already authorized FM or AM noncommercial educational (including LPFM) station.

For full-service FM stations, this includes rebroadcasting the HD stream (HD2, HD3, HD4) of an existing station that is running HD Radio.

To attempt to resolve this issue, we will be migrating recnet.com and fmtranslator.com to a separate VPS server with an SSD solely for the purpose of providing the content on these sites.
