[BC] AM on translator becomes new FM station...

[Alex Hartman]

Doesn't this get into the really hairy area of the contours? (without
the parent station on the air, there's no 60dbu to go by, right? and
if they go silent without the STA, they'd essentially be in violation
of the license and possibly forfit the AM license, thus loosing the FM
translator as well (since there's no parent license?)?

Also, is there precident anywhere where someone has turned a
translator into a class D station? (given the power levels and height
limitations of translators)

And would said class D station then be subject to all the normal rules
that would adhere to any other class D?

Just asking the stupid questions here, quite honestly i'm not sure of
the rules on things like this.
