I am curious if there is an equivalent to Part 15 radio in Canada? I assume there is a Canadian equivalent of the FCC... Thanks.
FM 1000uV/m @3m on 200khz channel centers starting at 88.1 ending 107.9
USA is 250uV/m@3m
AM US/Canada
100mW input to final RF excluding heater/filament power and a 3 meter total length including antenna, ground, and coax
Thank You,

Here in Canada, Industry Canada regulates somes communications rules. Where do you live in Canada? I live in Quebec and i operate sometimes my AM radio station with the power limit of 100 milliwatts. You can see my webpage of my "canadian part15" radio station at the following address:

For more information, you can go to see a document in PDF on "Low-power Licence-exempt Radiocommunication Devices (All Frequency Bands)" at the following address:

The one big difference between Canada and the U.S. is that you have to take the CRTC (Canada Radio & Telecommunications Commission) into consideration. They regulate all radio broadcasting in Canada. And there are different regulations from Industry Canada for broadcast applications coming from the BETS-1 publication - on AM, 250 uv/m @ 30 meters (much less than 100 mw). FM is 100 uv/m @ 30 meters (about 1 mw).
Luckily, the CRTC has a broadcast exemption for BETS-1 compliant operators. If you do not meet BETS-1 requirements, then you need both an Industry Canada and CRTC license to be legal.
Copyright law is different in Canada as well - check out the www.socan.ca website.
