The radiation limits are at a specified distance from the antenna EXCEPT
that educational institutions can run AM systems if they meet the
radiation limits at the boundaries of the campus.

See http://www.hallikainen.com/FccRules/2006/15/219/ (100mW on AM)

http://www.hallikainen.com/FccRules/2006/15/221/ (field strength limits at
specified distance, exemption for educational institutions setting limit
at perimeter of campus instead of specified distance from antenna)
