Rec. ITU-R BS.80-3 1 RECOMMENDATION ITU-R BS.80-3* Transmitting antennas in HF broadcasting (1951-1978-1986-1990) The ITU Radiocommunication Assembly, considering a) that a directional transmitting antenna should be used whenever appropriate, both to obtain adequate coverage of an intended service area and to minimize unwanted radiation, and potential interference, elsewhere; b) that the design and installation of a wide variety of directional HF antenna types of improved performance are feasible using current technology; c) that directional transmitting antennas can radiate significant power in unwanted directions; d) that comprehensive and detailed information on the theoretical radiation characteristics of HF antennas is given in Part 1 of Annex 1 to Recommendation ITU-R BS.705; e) that information regarding the differences between the theoretical and practical performance of HF antennas is given in Part 2 of Annex 1 to Recommendation ITU-R BS.705, recommends 1 that Annex 1 and Annex 2 should be used to give guidance on the choice of a suitable HF transmitting antenna; 2 that side-lobe radiation should be maintained at the lowest practical value; 3 that in practical operating conditions, for purposes of calculating interference, the field strength in other azimuths at angles of elevation corresponding to those of the main lobe, cannot be assumed to be less than 222 mV/m at a distance of 1 km for 1 kW of power supplied to the antenna, in the case of high gain antennas. A lower value of interfering field
