AM broadcast
AM Broadcast Engineering
Technical studies for new and modified AM stations across the standard band, 540–1700 kHz — day, night, and critical hours.
Protection studies for every hour of operation
An AM facility is not one study but several. Groundwave coverage and protection govern the daytime facility, skywave governs the night, and critical hours sit between the two. Nexus Broadcast evaluates each against the stations that actually surround the proposal.
- Daytime groundwave coverage and protection
- Nighttime skywave protection
- Critical-hours protection
- Directional antenna pattern review
- Frequency scans for new or relocated facilities
- Existing-versus-proposed facility comparisons
Directional facilities
Most AM proposals live or die on the pattern. Studies take the directional pattern into account in every direction that matters, rather than checking a single bearing, so the limiting stations are identified before an application is drafted.
Application support
When the proposal holds up, the technical data and supporting engineering exhibits are organized for the applicable FCC filing.
