("WWC"), has apparently violated Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act'') and has apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 22.371(b) of the Commission's Rules (the "Rules") by failing to notify directional AM radio station licensees of cellular tower construction within 3 kilometers (1.9 miles) of the directional AM stations' antenna arrays.

  • tower itself functions as the antenna. Consequently, a nearby tower may become an unintended part of the AM antenna system, reradiating the AM signal and distorting the authorized AM radiation pattern. Thus, our rules contain several sections concerning tower construction near AM antennas that are intended to protect AM stations from the effects of such tower construction., specifically, Sections 73.1692, 22.371, and 27.63 These existing rule sections impose differing requirements on the broadcast and wireless entities, although the issue is the same regardless of the types of antennas mounted on a tower. Other rule parts, such as Part 90 and Part 24, entirely lack provisions for protecting AM stations from possible effects of nearby tower construction. The Coalition has proposed that
