   with power in excess of that specified in the license,

   (4) The details of the emergency must be retained with the station
   license, and

   (5) At a controlled airport these communications must be coordinated
   with the FAA.

   (b) The unicom frequencies listed in subpart G may also be used for

   activities in preparation for, during an enemy attack or immediately
   after an enemy attack. When used for these purposes, unicoms may be
   moved from place to place or operated at unspecified locations, except
   at landing areas served by other unicoms or control towers.

   granted, the Commission may at any time, for national defense, modify
   the license.
