The frequency of 530 kHz is part of the Medium Frequency (MF) band used primarily for AM radio broadcasting. This frequency is often the lowest frequency assigned for AM radio stations in many countries, allowing for long-range transmission of audio content, such as music and news. In the United States, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulates the use of this frequency. Stations broadcasting at 530 kHz can reach audiences over large distances, especially at night when atmospheric conditions improve signal propagation.
