Is there a new provision in part 73 for AM LP? I have been retired from
Broadcast Engineering, TV & Radio for about 5 years now, so I may be a bit
out of touch, but I looked at the FCC website and it appears that 250 watts
is still the minimum and unless you are really in the middle of no where,
you better have: A good consulting engineer, a Washington attorney, really
deep pockets and lots of patience.
