§ 73.753   Antenna systems.

   All international broadcasting stations shall operate with directional
   antennas. Such antennas shall be designed and operated so that the
   radiated power in the maximum lobe toward the specific zone or area of
   reception intended to be served shall be at least 10 times the average
   power from the antenna in the horizontal plane. Radiation in all other
   directions shall be suppressed to the maximum extent technically
   feasible. In order to eliminate or mitigate harmful interference, the
   direction of the maximum lobe may be adjusted upon approval of the
   Commission.
