[View now] [Perplexing Propagation] Short-wave and AM transmitters are required to lower the transmission power and directivity of their signal and, in some instances, are 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 [PVC vs Polyurethane: A Tubing Comparison] "PVC and polyurethane are thermoplastic materials that can be formed into a variety of shapes, including tubing and reinforced hose. Both materials are useful in numerous applications.
