No, an applicant cannot propose a different channel and aggregate their points as part of an overall solution during the MX (Mutually Exclusive) application process for LPFM (Low-Power FM) stations.
In the LPFM application process, applicants are typically limited to the channel they initially applied for. They cannot propose a different channel as part of a settlement agreement or to aggregate their points. Once applicants have submitted their initial applications, any changes to the channel or technical parameters are generally not allowed during the application window.
Applicants are encouraged to carefully select their preferred channel and location before submitting their applications, as changes after submission can be limited and may require a significant technical showing to justify.
However, it's essential to review the specific rules and procedures outlined by the FCC for LPFM application windows, as regulations may change over time. Applicants should also consider consulting with an attorney or expert familiar with LPFM rules and processes to ensure compliance with all requirements.
