[BC] Radio station ignoring rules

[towers at mre.com]

I can't speak for lack of content and that being a rules violation, but
the only time the real calls are REQUIRED is at the ToH legal ID.
Otherwise, the station can call itself anything it wants at any time.

We're doing that on several stations....
