[BC] Class C AM Stations

[Tom Spencer]

Actually, counting Mexico and Canada (and Canada's all seem to be Class 
C - 1 kW ND), the FCC database shows 181 stations, including 
applications and CPs, between 1610 and 1700.  Well, 181 records; some 
are listed up to four times....

Divide by 2 for day/night; that's about 90 stations, or a bit less...

Canada has 1610, 1650, 1670, and 1690 as Class C.

BTW - the No New Class Ds?

NEW - in Puerto Rico, Ponce and/or Mayaguez - on 1660; 5 kW-D, 0.185 kW-N

Applications, but they've been accepted, or they wouldn't be in the 
database, right?

Anyway, the Expanded Band in general would be a good place for AMLPs; 
since the hardware is all off-the-shelf.

Powers up to 30 watts, anyway....

50 - 100 watt range may take some development....
