§ 74.482 Station identification.
(a) Each remote pickup broadcast station shall be identified by the
transmission of the assigned station or system call sign, or by the call
sign of the associated broadcast station. For systems, the licensee
(including those operating pursuant to § 74.24 of this part) shall assign a
unit designator to each station in the system. The call sign (and unit
designator, where appropriate) shall be transmitted at the beginning and end
of each period of operation. A period of operation may consist of a single
continuous transmission, or a series of intermittent transmissions
pertaining to a single event.
(b) In cases where a period of operation is of more than one hour duration
identification of remote pickup broadcast stations participating in the
operation shall be made at approximately one-hour intervals. Identification
transmissions during operation need not be made when to make such
transmissions would interrupt a single consecutive speech, play, religious
service, symphony, concert, or any type of production. In such cases, the
identification transmissions shall be made at the first interruption in the
program continuity and at the conclusion thereof. Hourly identification may
be accomplished either by transmission of the station or system call sign
and unit designator assigned to the individual station or identification of
an associated broadcasting station or network with which the remote pickup
broadcast station is being used.
(c) In cases where an automatic relay station is a part of the circuit, the
call sign of the relay transmitter may be transmitted automatically by the
relay transmitter or by the remote pickup broadcast base or mobile station
that actuates the automatic relay station.
(d) Automatically activated equipment may be used to transmit station
identification in International Morse Code, provided that the modulation
tone is 1200 Hz±800 Hz, the level of modulation of the identification signal
is maintained at 40%±10%, and that the code transmission rate is maintained
between 20 and 25 words per minute.
(e) For stations using F1E or G1E emissions, identification shall be
transmitted in the unscrambled analog (F3E) mode or in International Morse
Code pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (d) of this section at
intervals not to exceed 15 minutes. For purposes of rule enforcement, all
licensees using F1E or G1E emissions shall provide, upon request by the
Commission, a full and complete description of the encoding methodology they
currently use.
Note: Stations are encouraged to identify using their associated part 73
station call sign.
