USCG 680 kHz Broadcast Analysis

Abstract

The United States Coast Guard (USCG) has requested that ECAC analyze the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) impact that would result from the installation of a standard broadcast station in close proximity to USCG and Naval radio facilities at Point Barrow, Alaska. The Coast Guard and Naval transmitting station is located about 300 feet from the proposed station site and the accompanying government receiver site is about 1.5 miles away. The proposed broadcast station will transmit in the commercial AM broadcast band. The objectives of this analysis were: (1) to determine the EMC of the proposed Point Barrow standard broadcast station with respect to the adjacent Coast Guard/Naval communications station and other communications facilities in the vicinity of the proposed site; and (2) to determine the areas within which the radiation hazards criteria for personnel, fuel and ordnance will be exceeded.
