    Needs and Uses: 47 CFR 73.1820 requires that each licensee of an 
AM, FM or TV broadcast station maintain a station log. Each entry must 
accurately reflect the station's operation. This log should reflect 
adjustments to operating parameters for AM stations with directional 
antennas without an approved sampling system; for all stations the 
actual time of any observation of extinguishment or improper operation 
of tower lights; and entry of each test of the Emergency Broadcast 
System (EBS) for commercial stations.
