What is a Part 15 radio station

The FCC allows low power, community radio stations to use certain high frequency

AM bands provided the broadcast power and transmitter comply with government regulations.

Our transmitter is approved under FCC rule Part 15.219 which is not

a radiation limitation but a power and antenna length limitation

.The Hamilton Rangemaster 1000 transmitter that KVMW uses operates at 100mw (1/10 of a watt).

For comparison KJSA a long established commercial station in Mineral Wells

transmits at 250 daytime watts, 25,000 time as powerful as KVMW.

Advances in technology today allow us to obtain high quality sound on low power AM within our broadcast radius.
