Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

What it is Filled

A facility with transmitters, receivers and antennas for radio communication, broadcasting, navigation, time signals or satellite links, including broadcasting stations, ground stations for satellites and GNSS, standard frequency and time signal stations and radiodetermination stations; stations are licensed under national and international radio regulations and described here at the public and general level.

Why it exists Filled

Let an agent explain types of radio communication stations and their functions, explain licensing and spectrum rules, support public information on broadcasting and ground stations, and keep to general level for sensitive facilities.
