This is a case of where the rule is quite clear, but apparently not
enforced (or maybe no one is violating it). See the rule at
http://sujan.hallikainen.org/FCC/FccRules/2009/73/1870/ and violations at
http://www.hallikainen.org/FCC/FccRules/CiteFind/0731870.htm . Most, if
not all, the violations seem to involve the lack of designating a chief
operator in writing.
