Sec. 78.61 Operator requirements.
(a) Except in cases where a CARS station is operated unattended in
accordance with Sec. 78.53 or except as provided in other paragraphs of this
section, a person shall be on duty at the place where the transmitting
apparatus is located, in plain view and in actual charge of its operation or
at a remote control point established pursuant to the provision of Sec. 78.51,
at all times when the station is in operation. Control and monitoring
equipment at a remote control point shall be readily accessible and clearly
visible to the operator at that position.
(b) Any transmitter tests, adjustments, or repairs during or coincident with
the installation, servicing, operation or maintenance of a CARS station
which may affect the proper operation of such station shall be made by or
under the immediate supervision and responsibility of a person responsible
for proper functioning of the station equipment.
(c) The operator on duty and in charge of a CARS station may, at the
discretion of the licensee, be employed for other duties or for the
operation of another station or stations in accordance with the rules
governing such stations. However, such duties shall in no way impair or
impede the required supervision of the CARS station.
(d) CARS stations operating with nominal transmitter power of 250 milliwatts
or less may be operated by any person whom the licensee shall designate.
Pursuant to this provision, the designated person shall perform as the
licensee's agent and proper operation of the station shall remain the
licensee's responsibility.
(e) Mobile CARS stations operating with nominal transmitter power in excess
of 250 milliwatts may be operated by any person whom the licensee shall
designate: Provided that a person is on duty at a receiving end of the
circuit to supervise operation and to immediately institute measures
sufficient to assure prompt correction of any condition of improper
operation that may be observed.
