Occupied Spectrum Study

Contrary to what you may wish to believe, the FCC Rules do indeed still require that occupied spectrum measurements to be made annually or (at the very least) with no more than 14 consecutive months since the last set of measurements. You may also wish to note that, if you have made changes in an FM transmission system that is attached to your AM tower, occupied spectrum measurements may be required in order to insure your continued compliance. Take a look at the FCC regulations (specifically part 73.44 and 73.317) to see if these requirements apply to your operation. If they do, we'd like to offer our services to your station.

  Here is how we will proceed:

1. We will send one of our engineers to your transmitter site with some very expensive test equipment which will be mounted in a not so expensive vehicle. The engineer will then conduct the required measurements, rain or shine, hurricane or typhoon, while being attacked by dogs, cats, mosquitoes, black widows, tarantulas, scorpions, snakes or other engineering firms who wish to claim our web site copy as their own. With this in mind, we seriously doubt that there will be any other significant wild vermin that may choose to frequent your site!!!

2. Separate NRSC Mask and Spurious Emissions measurements will be made and recorded.

3. Harmonics will be measured with an approved Field Intensity Meter and recorded.

4. You will be asked to switch to EACH of your modes of operation so that these same measurements can be repeated (if you operate with a totally separate transmitter and/or antenna system during nighttime and/or critical hours, you will be asked to switch to these so that the measurements can be repeated in these modes as well).

5. After the trip, when the engineer returns to our offices, he will prepare a full report for your station.

Here is what we will pass on to you:

1. A written description of the procedure, equipment, and location used to make the measurements with a signed certification by the engineer responsible for making the measurements.

2. Separate plots for the NRSC Mask and Spurious Emissions.

3. A tabulation of the Carrier and Harmonic Signal Field Strengths for each mode of operation measured.

4. Upon completion of the report, the original copy will be promptly sent to you. This will contain the engineer's signature and should be entered into your records as verification that these tests were conducted.

The price for this service will be $350 dollars for each "single mode of operation" station and $600 for each "dual mode of operation" station. Stations with three or more modes of operation should add $250 per operating mode to the base fee of $350 in order to determine the proper amount they will be billed for this service.

In order to perform this service at this low price, we must make prior arrangements with and group as many stations for each trip as possible. Therefore, in order to maintain a reasonable schedule for all the stations involved, we will be unable to perform any other services on these trips unless prior arrangements are made well in advance.

We recommend that you do everything within your power to be certain that your system is in good operating condition with properly set modulation levels and properly set up (NRSC compliant) audio processing at the time of the measurements. To schedule this service for your station, please go on to fill out the On-line NRSC Information Sheet.
