Discussion:
The purpose of this Technical Brief for a Change of Facilities for CKYL-FM-1 Channel
235A Peace River Alberta is to obtain authority for the actual parameters that CKYLFM-1 is presently utilizing. The primary difference between what CKYL-FM-1 is
authorized for and what the station is operating at is the height of the antenna. In
discussions with Industry Canada it was decided that the difference between the
authorized antenna height and the actual antenna is large enough that a Technical Brief
for a Change of facilities is required to amend the CKYL-FM-1 parameters. It is
proposed to utilize the existing Channel 235 and to decrease the ERP from existing
2.8 kW to 2.5 kW and increase the EHAAT from existing 115.3 m to 155.2 m.
To summarize the technical parameters of the new facilities, the following table has
been prepared:

Channel Selection and Interference Analysis:
3.1
Channel Selection
It is the intent of the applicant to utilize existing Channel 235A for this application.
This channel is presently used by CKYL-FM-1 as a Class A station.
3.2
Channel Interference Analysis for the Proposed
CKYL-FM-1, Peace River, AB Channel 235A Operation
Distances between the proposed station and co-channel and adjacent channel
allotments or assignments were checked and in all instances meet the required
distance separations set out in Broadcasting Procedures and Rules, Part 3 and
Agreement Between the Government of Canada and the Government of the United
States of America Relating to the FM Broadcasting Service and the Associated
Working Arrangement (dated July 1997) amended February 2001.
3.3
Harmonic Interference
Broadcasting Procedures and Rules, Part 3 - Section C-6.1
The second harmonic of 94.9 MHz (Channel 235A) is 189.8 MHz. This falls in
television channel 9. The nearest channel 9 assignment or allotment is AB-PT-1033,
Peace River, AB which is 9.3 km at Azimuth 199.5° from the proposed site.
AB-PT-1033 is authorized to operate on Channel 9R.
The installation of the proposed station will ensure that the second harmonic radiation
will meet the requirement for 80 dB attenuation below the fundamental carrier.
3.4
Reradiation of "Ghost" Reflections of Television Signals
Broadcasting Procedures and Rules, Part 4 - Section C-7
It is proposed to continue to co-locate at the existing CKUA-FM-5 tower near Peace
River, AB. The proposed CKYL-FM-1 operation will continue to utilize the existing
CKYL-FM-1 and CKKX-FM broadband antenna. No changes are being made to the
existing broadband antenna. The CKUA-FM-5 tower has been in existence for many
years without “ghost” reflections of television transmissions. Therefore, “ghost”
reflections of television transmissions are not expected to be a problem.

Channel Selection and Interference Analysis: (Cont’d.)
3.5
Isolation of Transmissions
The proposed CKYL-FM-1 station will be combined with the existing CKKX-FM
station using a custom made FM combiner.
Isolation of transmissions will be carefully considered in the use of the FM combiner
proposed. The use of a common transmitting antenna, with careful selection of the
proposed combining system, will result in minimum interaction between
transmissions.
The existing CKYL-FM-1 antenna is in the same aperture as the CKUA-FM-5
antenna. However the stations have operated this way for a number of years without
any problems.
3.6
Adjacent Channel Interference to Television Channel 6
Broadcasting Procedures and Rules, Part 3 - Section C-6.2
The proposed channel of operation, Channel 235A (94.9 MHz), lies outside the
frequency range 88-92 MHz; therefore, consideration to television Channel 6 has not
been given in this submission.
3.7
Distortion of AM Patterns
Broadcasting Procedures and Rules, Part 3 - Section B-2.4.9(b)
There are no AM stations in the vicinity of the CKUA-FM-5 tower. Therefore,
consideration has been given but is not expected to be a problem.
3.8
Channels Separated by 600 kHz and 800 kHz
Broadcasting Procedures and Rules, Part 3 - Section C-1.6
There are no FM assignments or allotments on either 94.3 MHz or 95.5 MHz
(channels separated by 600 kHz from 94.9 MHz) in the Peace River area. Therefore,
consideration to 3rd adjacent channel interference has not been given in this
submission.
There are no FM assignments or allotments on either 94.1 MHz or 95.7 MHz
(channels separated by 800 kHz from 94.9 MHz) in the Peace River area. Therefore,
consideration to 4th adjacent channel interference has not been given in this
submission.

Receiver Overloading and Intermodulation Interference
Broadcasting Procedures and Rules, Part 3 - Section C-5
3.9.1
There are a number of FM assignments and allotments in the Peace River area that
could contribute to potential intermodulation product (IM) interference. The
assignments, allotments and the proposed CKYL-FM-1 channel considered in this
analysis are shown in Table 1.
Table 2 shows the list of all IM products in the Peace River area which could create a
potential for interference to the proposed station.
3.9.2
Table 3 shows the list of all IM products in the Peace River area which could create a
potential for interference to the proposed CKYL-FM-1 station.
3.9.3
The proposed Channel 235A (94.9 MHz) and each FM channel allotted or assigned to
the Peace River area have been examined with respect to third order IM products of the
type 2f1-f2 and f1+f2-f3. It was found that Channel 235A (94.9 MHz) could generate IM
products that may appear in the Aeronautical NAV/COM Band (108-137 MHz).
3.9.4
The total population within the estimated 115, 70 and 54 dBu contours of the
proposed station is tabulated below. The population counts were taken from "Canada
Census - 2011" published by Statistics Canada.
Estimated Contours
115 dBu
70 dBu (3 mV/m)
54 dBu (0.5 mV/m)
Population Enclosed
419
8,297
14,734
The 54 dBu contour of the Peace River stations enclose the estimated 115 dBu
contour of the proposed station. Therefore, the population within the overlap area is
419 persons. The applicant is aware of its responsibility to remedy valid complaints
of receiver-generated intermodulation interference within the 115 dBu contour.
The estimated 115 dBu contour is shown in Figure 6.
The applicant is aware of the requirements to remedy valid complaints of immunitytype interference to radio-sensitive equipment within the appropriate EMCAB field
strengths.

Antenna System:
It is proposed to utilize the existing Bext TFC2K 8-bay circularly polarized nondirectional antenna. The antenna is side-mounted on an existing 160 m tower with its
radiating centre 135 m above ground level. The antenna radiates circularly polarized
waves with a non-directional radiation pattern.
The antenna gain is 4.4 relative to a half-wave dipole.
In Figure 3 the location of the first minima in the vertical radiation pattern is shown at
a depression angle of approximately 7°. This would cause a minima at a distance of
approximately 1.1 km from the proposed transmitter site. Since there are few listeners
at 1.1 km from the proposed site, no reception problems are anticipated due to the
radiation null.
The antenna is fed by a single run of 7/8" foam transmission line 149 metres long. At
94.9 MHz, the loss in the transmission system will be 1.755 dB which results in a
system efficiency of 57.7%.
