NOUO just occurred in the state of LA for operating on 1710 KHz

Doesn't say you can't just with less power.
It doesn't help that many Part 15-certified transmitters include the ability to transmit on 1710 kHz at full 100 mW power, without giving the user adequate warning that this is not legal.
I would certainly love to see the rules changed to allow full Part 15 use of 1710 kHz AM and 87.9 MHz FM, but these days unless it involves a significant profit-making incentive, the FCC is very unlikely to change any rules.
Was really curious about this myself. Please, if there is still a question to keep this post, please keep it. Super informative!
Also... since I don't quite get the math, if a fella was to broadcast on 1710, what would your output power actually be on the transmitter?

Or, To Put It Another Way
If we don't know the field strength or transmitter power, what would be the estimated range operating according to the FCC rule?
If you're referencing the Rangemaster there is ample advice about power and the rules.
About 5 Ft from your transmitter!!
Not worth operating on 1710 Khz. Now for the rest of the band 1620-1700 you can expect to go 1.5 to 2 miles with a reading of 18 dBuV on your Tecsun PL 380, 880 Radio. Use a Tecsun Radio with a dBuV meter its the best way to adjust your system.
