Re: Wifredo G. Blanco-Pi, Application for a New Booster Station at Guayama, Puerto Rico, File No. 
BPEX-20090706AHD, Facility ID No. 181037.
This Order resolves a narrow question: Under the particular facts in front of us, does the 
applicant qualify for a broadcast radio experimental license to build an AM synchronous booster station 
in Guayama, Puerto Rico?  For the reasons set forth by the Commission, I agree that the correct answer is 
no.
Given its unique factual context, this Order should not deter any AM broadcasters who wish to 
perform legitimate experiments with AM synchronous boosters from coming to the Commission.  If 
broadcasters wish to test whether synchronous transmission systems can help improve signal quality 
within their coverage area, I believe that the Commission should facilitate such experiments as we search 
for ways to revitalize the AM band.
