FCC Logging and Operator Rules

The Federal Communications Commission has adopted new rules concerning the qualifications of operators of broadcast stations. The transmitting equipment of each station will be subject to periodic inspections and a maintenance log pertaining thereto will be kept. Clarifications are listed concerning present entries in the operating log of a station. In case the station contemplates the use of automatic logging equipment, certain conditions and requirements have to be met. An automatic transmitter, if such were available, capable of correcting itself to operate in accordance with FCC rules would, of course, obviate the need for any logs or monitoring equipment.
