Commission's minimum distance separation requirements at Station KSTJ's 
presently licensed transmitter site, 35-59-45 North Latitude; 114-51-51 
West Longitude. Channel 289C can be allotted to Dolan Springs with a 
site restriction of 27 kilometers (17 miles) north, at coordinates 35-
50-00 NL; 114-19-00 WL, to accommodate Mag Mile's desired transmitter 
site. Channel 272C2 can be allotted to Lake Havasu City at Station 
KJJJ's licensed transmitter site, at coordinates 34-33-06 NL; 114-11-37

coordinates 34-43-21 NL; 116-10-04 WL. Mexican concurrence in the

since they are located within 320 kilometers (199 miles) of the U.S.-
Mexican border. Concurrence in the allotment at Mohave Valley has been 
requested but not yet received. Therefore, if a construction permit is 
granted prior to receipt of formal concurrence in the allotment by the 
Mexican Government, the construction permit will include the following 
condition: ``Operation with the facilities specified herein is subject 
to modification, suspension or termination without right to a hearing, 
if found by the Commission to be necessary in order to conform to the 
USA-Mexico FM Broadcasting Agreement.''
