Spectrum Management and Telecommunications

Footnotes

¹ Final Acts of the Regional Administrative Radio Conference to Establish a Plan for the Broadcasting Service in the Band 1605-1705 kHz in Region 2 BC-R2(2), Rio de Janeiro, 1988.

² The 1990 agreement for the 1605-1705 kHz band is still in draft form because of the current "AM improvement" studies in Canada and the United States. However, an Interim Working Arrangement makes the draft agreement operational except for special consideration to be given for adjacent channel protection.

³ For protection criteria, see Chapter 4 of Annex 2, Canada/USA Agreement, 1984.

⁴ For protection criteria, see Chapter 4 of Annex 2, Canada/USA Agreement, 1984.

⁵ Close to the array, but beyond the nearfield.

⁶ A metropolitan area is considered to be any area where there are located in reasonably continuous fashion, industrial or residential buildings on parcels of ground normally referred to as building lots.
