§ 74.533 Remote control and unattended operation.
(a) Aural broadcast STL and intercity relay stations may be operated by
remote control provided that such operation is conducted in accordance
with the conditions listed below:
(1) The remote control system must provide adequate monitoring and
control functions to permit proper operation of the station.
(2) The remote control system must be designed, installed, and
protected so that the transmitter can only be activated or controlled
by persons authorized by the licensee.
(3) The remote control system must prevent inadvertent transmitter
operation due to malfunctions in circuits between the control point and
transmitter.
(b) Aural broadcast auxiliary stations may be operated unattended
subject to the following provisions:
(1) The transmitter shall be provided with adequate safeguards to
prevent improper operation of the equipment.
(2) The transmitter installation shall be adequately protected against
tampering by unauthorized persons.
(3) Whenever an unattended aural broadcast auxiliary station is used,
appropriate observations must be made at the receiving end of the
circuit as often as necessary to ensure proper station operation.
However, an aural broadcast STL (and any aural broadcast microwave
booster station) associated with a radio or TV broadcast station
operated by remote control may be observed by monitoring the broadcast
station's transmitted signal at the remote control or ATS monitoring
point.
(c) The FCC may notify the licensee to cease or modify operation in the
case of frequency usage disputes, interference or similar situations
where such action appears to be in the public interest, convenience and
necessity.
