  • contends that the expiration of the license for Station WNTQ780 became a final action and was not subject to review after March 2, 1998. Accordingly, the Branch properly treated Southern Union's application as a request for a new license, and granted the station a new call sign, WPOT834. 6. An application for a new license must satisfy certain requirements. Section 101.105(c) of the Commission's Rules requires a showing of 145 kilometers of co-channel separation between all existing stations and pending applications for fixed-to-fixed systems in the 928-929/952-960 MHz bands. When this standard cannot be met, an engineering analysis must include a ``statement that all parties affected have agreed to the engineering analysis and will accept the calculated levels of interference.''
