Section 105(A): Ability to maintain proposed service 3. Transmission Proposals The information provided above must take into account any requirements set out in Section 2 of this Notice. In the event of minor non-compliance, Ofcom may revisit an applicant's proposals with a view to modest adjustment following award and closer scrutiny. Significant non-compliance may render the application liable to disqualification. Arqiva has chosen the sites at Shelton Water Tower and Selattyn. These provide excellent coverage for Shrewsbury and Oswestry respectively and the immediate surrounding areas. We are advised by Arqiva that these plans comply with the Ofcom restrictions for this licence. (ii) Please provide a detailed computer predicted map (in colour) of the coverage anticipated using the transmission site(s) and parameters described above. Shrewsbury Local Radio – Coverage Predictions Composite: Shelton Water Tower / Selattyn (iii) Describe proposed arrangements for transmission provision (installation, maintenance and repair). The transmission system and equipment must comply with the Engineering Code originally published by the Radio Authority, which represents Ofcom's current policy and is available at: www.ofcom.org.uk/codes_guidelines/broadcasting/radio/codes/engineering_code.pdf Our Transmission provider, Arqiva, is well resourced to install the complete system and subsequently maintain and monitor the Transmission parameters. Telemetry and remote monitoring systems will provide information back to their control centre e.g. Carrier Power, lack of modulation etc on a 24 hr basis. Their maintenance personnel are highly trained with the necessary spares and test equipment to resolve any problem quickly. 35
Section 105(A): Ability to maintain proposed service 3. Transmission Proposals (iv) What is the anticipated time-lapse between the award of licence and start of broadcasting? Applicants should note that failure to commence broadcasting the service within two years of the date on which the licence is awarded is likely to lead to the offer of a licence to the successful applicant being withdrawn. In these circumstances the licence would be advertised afresh and a new competition would be held to award the licence. Shrewsbury Local Radio plans to launch within 26 weeks of the licence award. 36
