AMBand.org was formed in 2006 by a group of broadcast professionals who felt that there was no focused source of information on the web specifically about Medium Wave Broadcasting. There were many issues that uniquely faced AM broadcasters that were not being addressed in a focused way: IBOC Conversion, DRM (Mondale), noise interference, the unique propagation for Medium Waves, FCC regulation, receiver design issues, varying service areas between day and night, programming that brings listeners to the band, and a host of other issues.
We thought that building a collaborative site that was specifically to address the information that AM broadcasters and listeners need would be a good idea.
Well here it is: Enjoy the articles, feel free to comment (moderated, so there will be no flaming permitted) and think about authoring an article or two. I’m sure all of you would like to get on your soapbox for a minute of fame!
