Southern also argues that broadcasters utilizing auxiliary services such as STL's are entitled to a ``free'' amount of unlicensed auxiliary use, and that operators of such stations should be given greater flexibility to serve the needs of the public. While we acknowledge that Section 74.24(d) of the Rules allows an STL station short-term operation under the authority conveyed by a part 73 license or a broadcast auxiliary license without prior FCC authorization, not to exceed 720 hours annually, this rule does not mitigate Southern's violation.

Arnold submits that operating an STL without a license should be deemed a ``much less serious offense'' than operating a full-service station without a license. Arnold argues that its operation of an unlicensed STL posed ``no significant risk of interference to other stations,'' as evidenced by Section 74.24 of the Rules, which permits 720 hours of operation per year without a license. Arnold further contends that this permission for unlicensed operation ``can lead a licensee into making the sort of innocent mistake that Arnold made, to wit, believing that a license would be duly issued....''

Arnold argues that its operation of an unlicensed STL posed ``no significant risk of interference to other stations,'' as evidenced by Section 74.24 of the Rules, which permits 720 hours of operation per year without a license. Arnold further contends that this permission for unlicensed operation ``can lead a licensee into making the sort of innocent mistake that Arnold made, to wit, believing that a license would be duly issued....'' Arnold further stated that it expected its consulting engineer to submit its STL

Southern also argues that broadcasters utilizing auxiliary services such as STL's are entitled to a "free" amount of unlicensed auxiliary use, and that operators of such stations should be given greater flexibility to serve the needs of the public. While we acknowledge that Section 74.24(d) of the Rules allows an STL station short-term operation under the authority conveyed by a part 73 license or a broadcast auxiliary license without prior FCC authorization, not to exceed 720 hours annually, this rule does not mitigate Southern's violation.
