Michi Eyre, founder of REC Networks, wrote to Radio World to comment on our recent article about the possible number of low-power FMs:
Your short article “How Many New LPFMs
Might There Be?” leaves out some leaves out some significant research that was done by REC Networks on
this subject.
Our SuperCoordinator
program looked at several different scenarios (including LP-100 everywhere, like
what is being proposed by the FCC) and was able to drop an LPFM station in as
many places throughout the country. The
SuperCoordinator study was the basis for our comments with the FCC supporting the re purposing of the LP-10
service as a 50 watt service.

Our study as submitted to the FCC by market as well as by
each community in "table of allotments" format is here in PDF: http://recnet.com/fcc/99-25_2012-comments_A.pdf.
