It would be nice if the rules defined terms such as satellite operation. I
cannot find a definition in the rules, but conversations with FCC staff
generally lead me to believe it is a situation where a station has a main
studio location waiver (it is a satellite of the station where the main
studio is). I believe several NCE stations operate as satellite stations.

For violations and other stuff on 73.1201, see
http://www.hallikainen.org/FCC/FccRules/CiteFind/0731201.htm . I'm in the
middle of updating this page. It should be updated as of today later in
the week.
