    Needs and Uses: 47 CFR Section 73.1820 requires that each licensee 
of an AM, FM or TV broadcast station maintain a station log. Each entry 
must accurately reflect the station's operation. This log should 
reflect adjustments to operating parameters for AM stations with 
directional antennas without an approved sampling system, for all 
stations the actual time of any observation of extinguishment or 
improper operation of tower lights, and entry of each test of the 
Emergency Alert System (EAS) for commercial stations. The data is used 
by FCC staff in field investigations to assure that the licensee is 
operating in accordance with the technical requirements as specified in 
the FCC Rules and with the station authorization, and is taking 
reasonable measures to preclude interference to other stations. It is 
also used to verify that the EAS is operating properly.

Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
