Section 105(A): Ability To Maintain Proposed Service<br />

<strong>Kismat</strong><br />

Radio<br />

3. TRANSMISSION PROPOSALS<br />

(i) Provide details of the transmission site, or sites, you propose to use, under the following headings:<br />

Transmission<br />

Sunley Building<br />

(a) Name and National Grid Reference of the site;<br />

NGR SJ 844 983<br />

(b) Height of site above Ordnance datum (in metres);<br />

44 metres<br />

(c) Height of transmitting aerial above ground level in metres);<br />

126 metres<br />

(d) Radiated power in either or both planes of polarisation, and aerial radiated pattern (if no aerial<br />

radiation pattern is submitted, it will be assumed without exception to be omni directional).<br />

500 watts vertical + 500 watts horizontal<br />

Antenna pattern will be omni-directional<br />

The applicant should confirm whether he believes that his intended mast aperture will be available,<br />

and whether, where required, planning permission can be obtained. Where appropriate, evidence to<br />

support this belief should be provided. Details of any negotiations which have been entered into with<br />

the site owner(s) should also be provided.<br />

NTL has offered us site-sharing facilities at Sunley Building. No planning permission is required as the<br />

antenna already exists; the changes required are all accommodated within the building<br />

The information provided above must take into account any requirements set out in Section 2 of this<br />

Notice. In the event of minor non-compliance, <strong>Ofcom</strong> may revisit an applicant’s proposals with a view<br />

to modest readjustment following award and closer scrutiny. Significant non-compliance may render<br />

the application liable to disqualification.<br />

Sunley Building, by virtue of its location, provides excellent coverage of Manchester and surrounding area.<br />

(ii) Please provide a detailed computer predicted map (in colour) of the coverage anticipated using the<br />

transmission site(s) and parameters described above.<br />

The coverage predictions overleaf show both the nominal coverage from the transmitter and the<br />

interference limitations, signalled by <strong>Ofcom</strong> in the advertisement of this licence. High quality image files have<br />

also been provided with our appendix documents. We are keenly aware of the limitations of this licence and<br />

have taken them into account in our financial and other plans. However, it is clear that interference is worst<br />

to the south and southwest of Manchester, areas of relatively affluent white population. The main Asian<br />

areas of Bolton, Oldham, Manchester and Rochdale are better covered making <strong>Kismat</strong> an ideal candidate for<br />

this licence. Please see the coverage prediction maps overleaf.<br />
