Orange County NC <br />Radio Communication Tower and System Infrastructure Upgrade <br />RF Coverage and Sites /Towers <br />2.2.4 Chatham Mountain Site <br />Currently the Fire Station paging station and antenna are at the 1000 ft. level on this <br />tower. At this height the RF power output and effective radiated power have been <br />limited by the FCC license. As discussed with Orange County, a height of 150 ft. would <br />be more appropriate for obtaining paging coverage in the southern part of the County. <br />Also, the use of a directional antenna will enhance coverage into Orange County. <br />Orange County should investigate the possibility of placing the antenna at this lower <br />height with the tower owner. <br />Also, a site at StarPoint Storage was reviewed, in lieu of the Chatham site. This site <br />provides better RF coverage into the southeast corner of Orange County, however, RF <br />coverage into the southwest corner is decreased. RF Coverage maps have been <br />prepared for the StarPoint Storage site as well. <br />2.2.5 VHF Paging Coverage <br />VHF paging coverage has been predicted and plotted, as shown in Figure 9 and 10 <br />below. <br />August 23, 2013 Page 23 of 37 <br />T <br />�G <br />210 <br />
