Article Abstract:
Proof of performance and equipment performance measurements are two distinct requirements involving AM radio stations. While proof of performance is required of directional AM stations, equipment performance measurements are required of all AM stations. Proof of performance regulations delineate specific measurement locales to determine operating efficiency and proper antenna pattern.
