 Since the purpose of a translator is/was to re-broadcast another
 station, I can't see why not !
 Translator daisy-chains are common in the non-com market.

 If ( as above ) a translator's purpose is to rebroadcast a station, and that
 station does not have any of the above, I'd say not, BUT.....
 Since the purpose of an AM translator is ( apparently ) *not* to
 RE-broadcast a station, that's a good question !
