** U S A. Don't know if you read the FCC Daily Digest, but this case
is pretty typical of AM stations that are operated by licensees who
don't pay attention to minor details like transmitter operation. This
is a good example of the fact that most cases of nighttime
interference we become aware of are caused by not changing power or
pattern at local sunset, rather than by improper operation of
directional antennas.
This is an important point, and part of the underlying rationale for
the Ex Parte filing with FCC made by a group of licensees and
engineering consultants yesterday (Friday 4 May) proposing very
significant changes in the AM directional antenna "proof of
performance" rules. I'll send you the URL for the filing when it turns
up in the Commission's creaky unreliable computer system.
[ 4 PAGE(S) ] HRN BROADCASTING, INC. Issued a monetary forfeiture in
the amount of $11,200 to HRN Broadcasting, Inc., licensee of AM
broadcast station WZGM in Black Mountain, NC for operating with power
other than as specified and made a part of its license, and other
matters. Action by: Regional Director, South Central Region,
Enforcement Bureau. Adopted: 05/02/2007 by Forfeiture Order. (DA No.
07-1977). EB
