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

[Tom Spencer]

The Rules clearly state that the AM has to have been operating within 
the previous 24 hours.

74.1263(b)  An FM booster or FM translator station rebroadcasting the 
signal of an AM or FM primary station shall not be permitted to radiate 
during extended periods when signals of the primary station are not 
being retransmitted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, FM translators 
rebroadcasting Class D AM stations may continue to operate during 
nighttime hours only if the AM station has operated within the last 24 
hours.
