the cablevision company's responsibility to find and correct such deficient <br />mechanical connection. I want to clarify that this situation is not a <br />technical problem c,used by the radio station, but is actually a shielding <br />defect of the cable plant. I have no objection at all to the proposed <br />radio station sinceLI am sure that we can easily solve any such deficiency <br />that might exist in;the cable plant. <br />Any consumer devicithin the area of a powerful 50,000 or 100,000 watt <br />radio station may show interference if the consumer device has a shielding <br />. defect.

Coins <br />Chief Engineer <br />Attorney Barkett noted that the second concern expressed at <br />the P & Z meeting is that the strobe lights will shine into the <br />homes in Vista Plantation. He advised that the manufacturers of <br />this strobe lighting have faced this fear before, and have placed <br />a lens on the lighting, which is beveled and cut in such a way <br />that the main beam projects only in the horizontal at 320 feet <br />and de -intensifies as you go any degrees off horizontal. At 320 <br />feet, the main beam of the tower never reaches the earth because <br />of the curvature of the earth. The main beam isn't all that <br />bright at night anyway. It is only 2.007 candle power, which is <br />intense in that it can be seen, but it is not intense. It is <br />like a bright star in the sky. As you go any degrees off <br />horizontal, that intensity is reduced to as little as 4 degrees, <br />which is as much as you can go. After 4 degrees, it doesn't <br />shine on the earth at all. From 320 feet, 4 degrees has a radius <br />around the tower of 4350 feet, and anywhere inside that radius, <br />you are not looking at the beam of the tower.
