Obligations
What this law requires
SAM Radio Monte-Carlo must operate the RMC service in the Gap area using the updated technical parameters: frequency 104.8 MHz, transmitter site at lieudit Treynières, Saint-Laurent-du-Cros (05), site altitude 1,368 m NGF, antenna height 38 m above ground, and maximum effective radiated power of 500 W.
SAM Radio Monte-Carlo must apply the horizontal radiation attenuation limits specified in Annex III for the RMC transmitter in Gap when broadcasting under the updated authorization.
SAM Radio Monte-Carlo may only rely on the updated technical authorization for the Gap area if the international frequency-coordination procedures are concluded favorably.
The revised authorization terms for the Gap service replace the previous Annex III of Decision No. 2025-380 and must be followed instead of the superseded technical parameters.
The French broadcasting authority must notify SAM Radio Monte-Carlo of this decision and ensure its publication in the Journal officiel de la République française.
