  • characteristics of AM broadcasting and thus provide the potential for improving AM service in the near future as well as in the long term.'' 7. In the AM service, mutual exclusivity may occur during three operational timeframes: daytime, critical hours, and nighttime. Prohibited daytime contour overlap is determined by Section 73.37 and critical hours mutual exclusivity by Sections 73.37 and 73.187. Finally, AM Improvement Report and Order establishes three classes of nighttime interference contributors: (a) a high-level interferer is defined as a station that contributes to the fifty percent exclusion root-sum-square (``RSS'') nighttime limit of another station; (b) a mid-level interferer is defined as a station that enters the twenty-five but not fifty percent RSS of another station and (c) a
