adequate community coverage, AM stations must conduct various 
engineering measurements to demonstrate that the antenna system 
operates as authorized. The data is used by station engineers to 
correct the operating parameters of an antenna. The data is also used 
by FCC staff in field operations to ensure that stations are in 
compliance with the technical requirements of the Commission's rules.
