DISCUSSION ă  Sk' ( 4.` ` KCOP first argues that the application should be denied because Orion has not established"k ,l(l(,,2"  S' !a need for a Corona station.@ {Oh'ԍId. at 3.@ KCOP argues that the proposed station will create additional interference  !without significantly expanding Orion's coastal coverage beyond that already provided by Orion's nearby  S' !Santiago Peak station, and that Orion has not demonstrated the existence of a coverage gap. Z {O' x ԍId. Orion contends that the argument that the Corona application should be denied because the proposed  !p station will duplicate the Santiago Peak station's signal betrays KCOP's lack of standing. Opposition at 2.  !Q Specifically, Orion argues that, because the proposed service area includes the area served by the Santiago Peak  {O' ! station, which has caused no interference, KCOP cannot possibly be harmed by the proposed Corona station. Id.  !; at 3, 6. This argument overlooks KCOP's argument that cumulative interference to television reception from multiple  {O ' ! AMTS stations may be greater than that caused by one station. Petition to Deny at 3; Reply at 4 n.7; see, e.g.,  {OJ ' !@ Review of Methods for Calculating Nighttime Protection for Stations in the AM Broadcast Service, Notice of  {O ' ! Proposed Rule Making, MM Docket No. 88511, 3 FCC Rcd 6448, 6448 (1988) (cumulative interference from  {O ' ! several stations is greater than that from one). But see, e.g., Amendment of Part 74 of the Commission's Rules  {O ' !. Concerning FM Booster Stations and Television Booster Stations, Report and Order, MM Docket No. 8713, 2 FCC  ! Rcd 4625, 4629 (1987) (stating that the difference between the interference caused by a primary FM station and the  !D cumulative interference of such a station and its booster stations is probably small). Moreover, we note that the  !& proposed Corona station is well within KCOP's Grade A contour, while Santiago Peak is near the edge of the  {O'contour, and is located in a remote, unpopulated area. See San Clemente Order, 13 FCC Rcd at 15450. We find  !that these arguments are misplaced, for we agree with Orion that the AMTS rules do not require such a  S4' !showing.K4" {O'ԍSee Opposition at 5.K In fact, we believe that Orion would be entitled to add a station to its West Coast system  S' !Isimply to create additional capacity, even if that capacity is intended primarily to serve land units, yOU' x ԍ47 C.F.R.  80.123 sets forth the conditions under which an AMTS station may provide service to stations on land.

Jan. 21, 1999).- As we  !concluded with respect to the nearby Signal Peak and San Clemente stations, we find that this reduction  !in power level reduces the area of potential interference to the point where Orion's proposed plan, in  !conjunction with the requirements of our rules, will provide adequate protection against potential harmful  S7' !Minterference to television reception.c&7  {O'ԍSee San Clemente Order, 13 FCC Rcd at 15451.c We further conclude that without a power limitation, the subject application would be denied for the reasons discussed herein.  S'd IV. CONCLUSION ă  S8' (  10.` ` Orion has demonstrated that the proposed site is the only suitable location, and has agreed  !to make any necessary adjustments to TV receivers. It has not, however, satisfied the third requirement  !for a proposed AMTS station with more than one hundred residences within its interference contour. After  !Mcarefully reviewing Orion's applications and the pleadings filed in this proceeding, we find that Orion's  !tplan to control harmful interference to television reception, which is the same plan Orion has proposed  !in cases where far fewer residences were at risk of interference, is inadequate to control the interference  !that could be caused by the proposed station operating at full power. Therefore, the application will be granted subject to the condition that the station's ERP not exceed ten watts along any radial. "m &,l(l(,,8"  S'M V.
