All auxiliary transmitters shall be maintained so that they may be put into immediate operation at any time upon failure of the main transmitter or upon request of a duly authorized government official. All auxiliary transmitters shall be tested at least once each week to determine that they are in proper operating condition and that they are adjusted to the proper frequency. Such tests shall be conducted between 1:00 A. M. and. IS: 00 o’clock noon. A record of the time, conditions, and results of tests shall be kept in a special record available for inspection at any time.
