[View now] [Perplexing Propagation] Short-wave and AM transmitters are required to lower their transmission power and directivity of the signal and, in some instances forced to go off the air, at sunset. The reason for this FCC requirement: at night, the wave signals from these transmitters (like your local AM radio station) travel a longer distance than during the day. Keeping all the station's parameters the same, why does the night help to increase the range of these radio waves? Does this also happen with FM transmitters? [Answer/Discuss] TECH ARTICLE [Verified Grounding for Safety in Hazardous Locations] "The generation of static electricity is an inevitable by-product of day-to-day operations. Processes ranging from drum filling operations, to pneumatic conveying of powders, to mixing operations have the capability to generate huge amounts of static electricity. When static electricity accumulates on plant equipment like drums, piping, vessels, trucks, and flexible intermediate bulk containers there is a very real risk that a spark will be discharged."
