Section 73.625(a) at reference coordinates 44-44-53 N. and 85-04-08 W. 
with a power of 500, HAAT of 399 meters and with a DTV service

with a power of 200, HAAT of 104 meters and with a DTV service 
population of 78 thousand. Since the communities of Cadillac and 
Manistee are located within 400 kilometers of the U.S.-Canadian border,
