Sec.  23.18   Authorization of power.

   

   (a) Authorized power. Power, when designated in the respective station
   license for a particular transmitter or transmitters, is peak envelope
   power for transmitters having full, unkeyed carrier, single sideband
   or independent sideband emissions, and mean power for transmitters
   having other emissions, unless specifically expressed otherwise.
   Designation of effective radiated power may appear in the station
   license in addition to designation of power for a transmitter or
   transmitters, when deemed necessary by the Commission.

   (b) Use of minimum power. In the interest of avoiding interference to
   other operations, all stations shall radiate only as much power as is
   necessary to ensure a satisfactory service.
