Editing AM broadcasting (section)

====Longwave broadcasting====
''[[Longwave]]'' (also known as [[Low frequency]] (LF)) (148.5&nbsp;[[Kilohertz|kHz]] – 283.5&nbsp;kHz) Broadcasting stations in this band are assigned transmitting frequencies in the range 153&nbsp;kHz – 279&nbsp;kHz, and generally maintain 9&nbsp;kHz spacing. 
Longwave assignments for broadcasting only exist in [[ITU region|ITU Region&nbsp;1]] (Europe, Africa, and northern and central Asia) and are not allocated elsewhere. Individual stations have coverage measured in the hundreds of kilometers; however, there is only a very limited number of available broadcasting slots.

Most of the earliest broadcasting experiments took place on [[longwave]] frequencies; however, complaints about interference from existing services, particularly the military, led to most broadcasting moving to higher frequencies.
