Channel 279C can be allotted to North Conway, at Station WPKQ's presently licensed transmitter site, at coordinates 44-16-14 North Latitude and 71-18-15 West Longitude, which will maintain the presently grandfathered short-spacings to Station WKNE-FM, Channel 279B, Keene, NH, as well as to both the allotment reference coordinates for Channel 279D and proposed new station on Channel 279A at Montreal, Quebec, Canada, and the station on Channel 279A at Kahnawake, Quebec, Canada. Canadian concurrence in this allotment is required since North Conway is located within 320 kilometers (200 miles) of the U.S.- Canadian border.
