LPFM stations can be over 100 ft HAAT, but the trade off is you must run at 
lower power to compensate. There is no free lunch.  It is possible in some 
circumstances that running, say 125 ft HAAT and about 75 watts ERP might be a 
better compromise.  There are lots of variables which are a little difficult to 
predict on a news board.
