In addition to the internet stream which is currently running, we broadcast with a Chez Radio Procaster transmitter over the air on AM 1580 in Fort Madison.  Below is some important information to help the general public better understand the legal aspect of unlicensed AM broadcasting in the United States

KFMD operates with a Class B device. It is classified as an Intentional Radiator.  Consumer electronics such as our transmitter are very low-powered and subject to less demanding use compared to licensed broadcasters.  Class B devices have less stringent requirements governing internal protection and also EMI tolerance.  Residential devices that Class B covers are designed to have lower power levels. This insures they won’t cause disruptions to the owner or their neighbors.  Information regarding the transmitter that will be used by KFMD Radio will be provided after the unit has been installed.  This station's transmittter could be classified as a very expensive AM version of Mr. Microphone.
