If you are thinking about participating in this auction I strongly suggest that you contact an Attorney that is familiar with the FCC auction procedures to assist you;
AND that do a "due diligence" study (engineering study) on the facility(s) in which you are interested.
Many of the facilities being proposed have poor service areas, with limited service population and may not really be suitable for use, or have highly restrictive site locations that may be impossible to build. The FCC has not evaluated the suitability of any of the auction facilities beyond their ability to provide service to the community of license. Other restrictions may apply that are not readily apparent without an independent engineering study (contact me if you need assistance).
