[BC] Off air more than 10 days

[Kyle Magrill]

You will need an STA only if you are going to be 
off for more than 30 days.  At 10 days, you have 
to send a letter to the engineer in charge of the 
nearest FCC field office.  The letter needs your call 
letters, facility ID and only a brief description of the 
problem and when you expect to return to the air.  Sign
and date the letter and provide a phone number or e-mail
address where you, or someone in charge can be reached.
When you resume broadcasting, file a similar letter stating 
that you are back on the air.   

Also, since you are an educational institution, there is a 
rule provision that allows school owned stations to be 
silent during summer & other vacation periods without filing 
an STA.    I don't recall the details and I don't know if it 
applies to college owned LPFMs or only to full service 
stations, but it might be worth looking up the rule to see 
if it could apply.
