Obligations
What this law requires
SAM Radio Monte-Carlo must operate its RMC FM service in Thouars on 101.4 MHz, using the transmitter site at collège Jean Rostand, 34 boulevard Jacques Mesnard, Thouars (79), with a site altitude of 110 meters NGF, an antenna height of 40 meters above ground, and a maximum effective radiated power of 200 W, subject to the coordination limits in the annex.
The RMC service's horizontal radiation pattern in Thouars must respect the attenuation limits by azimuth specified in the annex, as measured relative to the maximum effective radiated power.
SAM Radio Monte-Carlo may use the 101.4 MHz frequency in Thouars only if the international coordination procedures conclude favorably.
