The technical side of broadcasting. Think IBOC is a sham? Talk about it here! How about HDTV? Post DX reports here as well.

searching for tramsmitter output power

Unread post by bobhuge »

It seems like I have been through every piece of data I could find using the FCC's site in searching for a particular station's actual transmitter power output, and I cannot find anything.

Is there somewhere in the FCC's treasure chest of info that lists a stations transmitter power output?

Enter call letters. Look at the latest record that starts with L2C.

Simplest way. Not the actual FCC site. The older ones aren't in it, you have to go to the authorization tab, sometimes, or the History Card Link for really old ones.

Bobhuge & all, What kind of station are you looking at ?
All the AM stations I look up show what must be transmitter output power, or in directional arrays it's the power delivered to a common point going to the array...
FM is rated by ERP so you have to back up from a gain antenna system to get the actual transmitter power. ERP - antenna gain + trans line loss....= transmitter power . TV also can use this method.
Does this help what you are looking for?
