§ 78.53 Unattended operation.
(a) A CARS station may be operated unattended: Provided, That such
operation is conducted in accordance with the conditions listed below: And
provided further, That the Commission, in Washington, DC, is notified at
least 10 days prior to the beginning of unattended operation if such
operation is not indicated on the station authorization.
(1) The transmitter and associated control circuits shall be installed and
protected in a manner designed to prevent tampering or operation by
unauthorized persons.
(2) If the transmitting apparatus is located at a site which is not readily
accessible at all hours and in all seasons, means shall be provided for
turning the transmitter on and off at will from a location which can be
reached promptly at all hours and in all seasons.
(3) Personnel responsible for the maintenance of the station shall be
available on call at a location which will assure expeditious performance of
such technical servicing and maintenance as may be necessary whenever the
station is operating. In lieu thereof, arrangements may be made to have a
person or persons available at all times when the transmitter is operating,
to turn the transmitter off in the event that it is operating improperly.
The transmitter may not be restored to operation until the malfunction has
been corrected by a technically qualified person.
(4) The station licensee shall be responsible for the proper operation of
the station at all times and is expected to provide for observations,
servicing and maintenance as often as may be necessary to ensure proper
operation. All adjustments or tests during or coincident with the
installation, servicing, or maintenance of the station which may affect its
operation shall be performed by or under the immediate supervision of a
technically qualified person.
(b) The Commission may notify the licensee not to commence unattended
operation, or to cancel, suspend, or change the date of the beginning of
such operation as and when such action may appear to be in the public
interest, convenience, or necessity.
