The listed values are for commercial FM stations. This data also holds true 
for noncommercial educational stations, except that the 70 dBu city grade 
requirement of 47 CFR Section 73.315(a) does not apply to noncommercial 
educational stations in the portion of the FM band reserved for 
noncommercial educational use (88.1 to 91.9 MHz).
