"On October 29, 2010, the Dominican Monastery of Mary the Queen filed an application with the Federal Communications Commission to obtain permission to assign to Holy Family Communications its Permit to Construct a Noncommercial Educational Radio Station, WMTQ, to serve Elmira, NY and surrounding areas. The application proposes a Class A FM station operating at 372 meters height above average terrain with 90 watts effective radiated power from 42-6-21.7 N and 76-52-17.1 W."^[3]
