This table can accommodate up to 30 translator stations (for full-powered stations, see note below). All fields except for HAAT is supplied in meters and automatically converted to feet, so do not supply anything other than a number, or the {{convert}} will return a big red error message when called from the station page that this template is used in. Because of this, supply HAAT for all translators, or fill missing entries with 0 (zero). Also be aware that the FCC database may not contain a number other than 0 for HAAT on some stations — for these it is necessary to click on a link on the translator station's results page at fcc.gov to calculate the actual HAAT, since the 0 is not a valid or accurate result. The optional notes work in a similar way to the optional HAAT, however Be aware that when a translator receives a license to cover (not the initial construction permit for) a change to a different frequency, its broadcast callsign will change to include its new channel number, plus two new serial letters (unless moving back to a channel the translator previously used). Be sure to use all of the technical and legal information that a translator is currently broadcasting with, whether it is the existing broadcast license, long-term special temporary authority, or program test authority for a permit. In some cases a translator will be relaying the analog audio of one FM or AM station, but the official parent station in the database (see FCC CDBS Station Search or FCCdata.org for this info) will be the HD Radio digital subchannel of another station. In this case, generally put the translator in with the station with which the public would identify, that is to say the flagship station for the "network" rather than the one used as a legal fiction. (If the unofficial moniker used in station idents uses the "translator" station's frequency as its primary identification, and there is no other analog station carrying it, then the supposed "translator" is not really acting as one and may have its own article.) Also, translator callsigns should redirect to their parent stations' article in the same manner as the preceding two paragraphs, unless the translator is off-air or being flipped for profit, when it may be assigned arbitrarily to a primary station which the translator's owner has no intention of transmitting long-term (or at all). Redirecting like this allows Wikipedia users to easily identify and access the data and links contained within the tables presented with this template. If one or more of the various city fields need to be piped—for disambiguation or to solve a redlink—use {{!}} in place of the pipe character (|). Alternatively, for cases where a community of license of a translator is actually multiple cities (such as "Onley–Onancock, Virginia" for WESR (AM)), use Note about full-powered stations[edit]Do not use this template for a list of full-powered radio stations (AM, FM, or non-translator LPFM). In this case, a wikitable should be created with the pertinent columns and information. For an example, see WAMC § Other stations. |
