   radiobeacon service and capable of transmitting by self-actuating means;

   (2) The emissions of the transmitter must be continuously monitored by a
   licensed operator, or by a direct positive automatic monitor, supplemented
   by aural monitoring at suitable intervals;

   (3) If as a result of aural monitoring it is determined that a deviation
   from the terms of the station license has occurred, the transmitters must be
   disabled  immediately  by  a  properly authorized person. If automatic
   monitoring  is used, the monitor must insure that the operation of the
   transmitter meets the license terms or is disabled;

   (4) A properly authorized person must be able to reach the transmitter and
   disable it in a reasonable amount of time, so as not to adversely affect
   life or property in the air;

   (6)  The  transmitter  is not operable by or accessible to, other than
   authorized persons;

   (7) The transmitter is in a remote location.

   (b) Authority for unattended operation must be expressly stated in the
   station license.
