I was looking thru the FCC database and came across listings for "Target
Area".
One said "10-13"

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.
But 75 degrees out of Alaska would aim at Norway, not Mexico or Brazil.
The OP didn't tell us the call letters. But Hawaii or Guam would make
more sense.
