10 milliwatts no license on FM . 1 watt with license in urban areas and 10 watts in the country , on FM . In the Netherlands one to 100 watts AM or just be a pirate at the top of the band with no license. Apparently nobody with stop them.
Interesting! Is that 10mW in Australia with no field strength limit? Just power?
So in urban areas 1 watt with license would be the same as New Zealand if the license is free and available to those that want it and meet the requirements.
Understandable with AM in the Netherlands as I understand the AM band is mostly unused and gone to DAB or FM. Like here in rural Canada which is most of the country except for a few larger cities and Southern Ontario the AM band is empty.
According to RecNet, power is limited in Australia to 10 MICRowatts, not 10 milliwatts. Still more than either the U.S. (which is in the nanowatt range) or Canada (a microwatt or so), it's still far less than 10 milliwatts.
The information I saw was on Australian government site . There's a massive amount of information listed . For me difficult to see well. I did take another look at the power level but not their government site , it stated 10 micro watts but not official site . What ever it really is ...If the antenna is high enough, could get a decent range . Height is the key factor but power comes in with inside building reception. Weak fm or any radio signal,can travel really far under optimal conditions but higher but not be strong enough to be heard inside a building ...especially fm . Another reason I switched to AM 2016
