AM: Daytime Protection Requirements

The Daytime Protection Requirements study performs an allowable radiation study for a given site based on ground wave contours.

Download Program Sample

The program takes into account all pertinent existing and proposed facilities from the FCC AM engineering database. Soil conductivity information is first retrieved for the study site from FCC figure M3 or Region II database for Alaska.

Next, for each frequency studied, the program retrieves all pertinent geographically close The program then uses the groundwave contour information, along with the appropriate protection ratio from Section 73.37 of the FCC Rules or appropriate International Agreement, to develop radiation limits every 5 degrees azimuth from the proposed site. If a contour overlaps the study site, a message is printed and the study continues. In this way, mutually exclusive applications, or the station under study, are not allowed to preclude the study.
