Two AM broadcast stations, WTIC and WCCC AM, are in the immediate vicinity of the Marlin Towers site and per FCC Regulations all new structures must be detuned to prevent interference to the AM station's patterns. This is an expensive requirement and one that must be taken very seriously.

Marlin Tower, LLC (MTL) has designed a state of the art detuning system in cooperation with the two nearby stations, and we have a very good working relationship with them. MTL operates and maintains the detuning system at the site which often dramatically reduces the expense and time required by our existing and potential users in meeting the stringent FCC requirement. We can assist in making arrangements for pre and post construction field measurements, or can recommend a local consultant for you to work with if you need someone to do the field work.

Additionally, we require is that tenants work with us and follow normal engineering standards when mounting their antennas on the detuned tower. This includes such things as bonding all transmission lines to the tower at twenty-foot intervals and ensuring that appendages to the tower do not interfere mechanically with our detuning apparatus.
