===Microbroadcasting=== {{see also|Low-power broadcasting}} Some [[microbroadcasting|microbroadcasters]], especially those in the United States operating under the FCC's [[Part 15]] rules,<ref>{{cite book | title = Localist Movements in a Global Economy Sustainability, Justice, and Urban Development in the United StatesStates | author1= David J.

On mediumwave these stations often transmit on 1610 kHz to 1710 kHz. Hobbyists also use low-power AM (LPAM) transmitters to provide programming for vintage radio equipment in areas where AM programming is not widely available or does not carry programming the listener desires; in such cases the transmitter, which is designed to cover only the immediate property and perhaps nearby areas, is connected to a computer, an FM radio or an MP3 player. Microbroadcasting and pirate radio have generally been supplanted by streaming audio on the Internet, but some schools and hobbyists still use LPAM transmissions.
