Thereafter, during a telephone   conversation on October 31, 1997, WQBH maintains that Comcast stated that before any discussions   regarding the station's signal could take place, it would have to make a determination as to whether   .WQHB was entitled to carriage under the Commission's rules. MBI requests that the Commission order Comcast to commence carriage of WQHB's signal.  S0- 5.In its oppostition, Comcast argues that MBI's complaint should be denied because WQHB does   not deliver a sufficiently strong signal to the System headend. Comcast attaches the results of signal tests  S-which purport to show that WQHB fails to deliver a good quality signal.ND3 {Ol-ԍ See Attachment A to Opposition.N  S- 6.In reply, MBI states that Comcast offered a hastily conducted and wholly inadequate signal test  Sh-  that was done at least 78 days later than the Commission's rules require. See 47 C.F.R. 76.61(a)(2).   {MBI states that the hand written "signal survey" shows that Comcast's test falls well short of the Commission's rules for its definition of "sound engineering practices".  S-  7.We find that Comcast submitted signal strength studies which fail to show compliance with sound   engineering practices. Moreover, Comcast failed to conduct the required number of signal strength tests   as required by the Commission's rules. Additionally, the type of antennna is unknown; antenna range   and radiation pattern is unknown; the calibration of the test equipment is more than a year old; there were   Lno sketches or block diagrams to describe the methods used for processing; and the height of the antenna   might be too low for a clear reception. We have previously stated that cable operator's signal strength   0surveys should, at a minimum, include the following: 1) specific make and model numbers of the   equipment used, as well as its age and most recent date(s) of calibration; 2) description(s) of the   characteristics of the equipment used, such as antenna ranges and radiation patterns; 3) height of the   antenna above ground level and whether the antenna was properly oriented; and 4) weather conditions and  S8-  time of day when the tests were made.8~D3 {OV&-  JԍSee Clarification Order, 8 FCC Rcd 4142 (1993).  See, e.g., Complaint of Channel 5 Public Broadcasting, Inc.,  {O '-against WestStar Cable, 8 FCC Rcd 4953 (1993). When measured against these criteria, we conclude that Comcast's"8,`(`(88 "   =signal strength tests are insufficient to demonstrate that WQHB's signal is not of good quality. We find, therefore, that WQHB is a qualified UHF station that is entitled to carriage on Comcast's cable system.  S- N8. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED , pursuant to Section 614 of the Communications Act of 1934,  S`-  as amended (47 U.S.C. 534) that the petition filed by McLaughlin Broadcasting, Inc .("MBI") IS  S8-  GRANTED . Comcast Cablevision of the South IS ORDERED to commence carriage of television station   WQHB(TV) within sixty(60) days of the release date of this Order. WQHB(TV) shall notify Comcast in   writing of its carriage and channel position elections ( 76.56, 76.57, and 76.64(f) of the Commission's rules) within thirty (30) days of the release date of this Order.
