directionalize their signals during some
or all of the broadcast day in order to
avoid interference with other AM
stations. Maintaining a directional
signal pattern can be technically
complex, time-consuming, and
expensive. Such stations are subject to
a variety of rules requiring signal
strength measurements and other
engineering analyses to ensure
compliance with their authorizations.
In the AMR Third R&O, the FCC
eliminated, clarified, or eased several of
the rules governing AM stations using
directional antenna arrays, which
comprise almost 40 percent of all AM
stations. First, the FCC revises 47 CFR
73.154(a) to relax the rule on
submission of partial proofs of
performance of directional AM antenna
arrays by eliminating the requirement to
take measurements on non-monitored
radials adjacent to monitored radials.
Next, the FCC modified several rules
pertaining to AM stations that use
Method of Moments (MoM) models of
directional array performance. MoM
modeling allows broadcasters to verify
antenna system performance through
computer modeling, as opposed to
sending engineers in the field to take
field strength measurements. Thus, a
proof using a MoM model is less
expensive than taking field strength
measurements of an AM station’s
directional pattern. Specifically, the
FCC: (1) Revised 47 CFR 73.151(c)(1)(ix)
to eliminate the requirement of
obtaining a registered surveyor’s
certification, provided that no new
towers are being added to an existing
AM array; (2) added 47 CFR
73.151(c)(1)(x) to extend the exemption
(of having to file a new proof with the
FCC) to any AM tower modification that
does not affect the modeled values used
in the previously submitted license
proof; (3) revised 47 CFR 73.151(c)(3) to
retain the current requirement for
submission of reference field strength
measurements in the initial license
application, but eliminated the
requirement to submit additional
reference field strength measurements
in subsequent license applications; and
(4) revised 47 CFR 73.155 to eliminate
the requirement for biennial
recertification of the performance of a
directional pattern licensed pursuant to
a MoM proof, except when system
components have been repaired or
replaced.
