The FCC has opened a commentary window on a proposal (RM-11384) to relax
the PSRA/PSSA rules for AM stations. Here are some of the key points as
noted in todays edition of Radio Currents e-magazine.
PSRA and PSSA power need not be limited to 500W if no interference would
be caused.

Thank you, Paul, for your comprehensive and quick response to my late Sunday

Thanks Patrick for posting this. Does this mean a station like
KBGN-1060-Caldwell ID that runns a PSRA of 250w could run the complete

PSSAs would no longer be resricted to low power? This may help us log
some new DX, but it may b

NO IBB stations are assigned calls. On the other hand, I know that other

All Federal Government Stations are assigned call letters or "ID's".In the
case of VOA -- they use "VOA Dixon" or "VOA whatever". Even if they do not
use the location -- they use "VOA" as an ID. They use A, N, W and K call
signs.NPG is navy, AAH-300 is Army
OK - not to nitpick too much but "N" callsigns are used by Navy, Marine Corps
and Coast Guard.
"A" callsigns are used by Army and Air Force.
Some Army stations also use "W" callsigns like WAR and in the case of my own

Having heard that a new station is operating on 1690 from Toronto, I just
turned on the radio, punched in the frequency, got the announced call
letters instantly as if on cue, and then turned off the radio. The entire
process took 4 seconds or less. This is DX economy,

Thanks for that piece of info. I've been trying to convince some folks
that the FCC has no direct authority over electromagnetic radiation of
other federal agencies.
Nonetheless, the other agencies don't just take it into their heads to
