joel Ed Palattella has the lead story on the City & Region section of Tuesday’s Erie Times-News about the tower location for the new 92.7 Lawrence Park, owned by First Channel Communications. First Channel’s application was accepted for filing last Thursday, and in the technical section of the application, shows that a 91 meter (298.6 foot) tower is called for in the southwestern corner of Zuck Park, owned by Millcreek Township.
Palattella quotes First Channel principal Rick Rambaldo as to the appropriateness of the site:
“Zuck Park is an excellent location to put a city-grade signal to serve the entire market,” Rambaldo said.
The following map that accompanies the application shows us why:
Lawrence Park 224A Contour Map
The “bow tie” contour of the directional signal will cover the population areas surrounding the city of Erie, provide a 70 dBu signal over the community of license of Lawrence Park, from a tower partially hidden by woods, paying rent to a township where every dollar counts. Meanwhile, as we covered before, because of the directional nature of the license, the antenna farm up on Peach Street won’t work for 92.7.
