I was looking thru the FCC database and came across listings for "Target

One said "10-13"

Get a hold of the international broadcast regulations. (www.fcc.gov, or
access.gpo.gov and look for the National Archives web pages and look for
"Code of Federal Regulation"). Last I knew, this would be "47 CFR Part
73 Subpart F". One page of this is a world map with the target regions.

dig,dig...

and download the .pdf for 73.703

Also, does "Azimuth" tell you where they are beaming their antenna to?

This one said 75.0 & 100.0. How do you interpret that?

The map, (and another poster), indicates those are Central and South
America. But using 0=North, 90=East doesnt' make sense unless the
transmitter is out in the Pacific somewhere. There should be a
latitude/longitude in the database, too, that should give a doublecheck.

Alaska? It would blanket all of North America.
