"v) The control operator of a club station may accept compensation for
the periods of time when the station is transmitting telegraphy
practice or information bulletins, provided that the station transmits
such telegraphy practice and bulletins for at least 40 hours per week;
schedules operations on at least six amateur service MF and HF bands
using reasonable measures to maximize coverage; where the schedule of
normal operating times and frequencies is published at least 30 days
in advance of the actual transmissions; and where the control operator
does not accept any direct or indirect compensation for any other
service as a control operator."

73,

Paul, N8HM
