In light of several recent Notices of Apparent Liability (NAL) issued by the FCC to  AM stations, we thought we would remind engineers that maintain AM directional sites  the importance of monitoring and documenting the operation closely. The FCC has found that a number of  stations failed to maintain required directional patterns within prescribed parameters and operate within authorized power limits.

Section 73.1560(a) of the Rules require AM station licensees to maintain their antenna input power within 90% and 105% of the authorized power.  AM stations authorized power is normally determined by observing the antenna current at the feed to the tower or a line current meter at the common point during directional operation.
