"The FCC is accepting applications for new, low-power, community radio stations the first week of November.

This is huge, you guys, this window rarely opens (the last time was 2013), and as you know, KUZU shows one way LPFM can be a foundation to build valuable community information resources.

The Grassroots Radio folks are holding a conference in West Virginia to help folks out with this.

Please boost and share."

I posted the text from the Mastodon toot above to help facilitate discussion and engagement here.

I'll have to look into this. Am I correct to assume some geographic areas have more availability than others?

I'd assume availability is based on having clear frequencies. Probably big cities are more congested than rural areas. Though that could probably be somewhat mitigated by power restrictions. But really I have no idea.
