Henry Slater Town of Dryden Board Dryden , New York 13053 To Whom It May Concern : The management of WHCU / WYXL asked me to write a letter addressing the issue of television and radio interference in the vicinity of the new TAHCUJWYXL offices and studios on Hanshaw Road in the Town o f Dryden . By way of introduction I am presently a technical consultant to WHOLE and WYXI and in years past I was the chief operator both u nder Eagle Broadcasting and Cornell ownership . Eagle Broadcasting is meerly conttucting new studios and making no changes to its transmitter facilities en Mt . Pleasant or in Newfield . I can see where no case of television or radio interference will arise . The new studio facility will have no high power transmitter o f other hi - power NO generating devices . Construction of the new studio facility will use state - of - the art e quipment and installation practices that will naturally preclude any causes of television or radio interference . The construction of the new plant will De done under my supervision and will meet all present industry accepted standards . h • Telersion interference is unlikly in the audio environment . It would be necessary to supress any spurious interference arising during construction to come into line with FCC requirements re - . garding audio performance . It should also be noted that if a case of interference were to actually arise out of this construction and its cause traced to the new studio installation it would he up to Eagle Broadcasting , under present FCC rules , to correct the problem at the stations expense . • A As the installation will be under my supervision Y see no case where any of the residents in the area will be affected in any way by television OT radio interference . Again WHCII /TdYXL is not installing transmission equipment . The move concerns new studios and business offices .
