If someone can prove it wasn't, that's grounds for license revocation, 
since you have to file an application to cover each CP along the way 
with a license - and that involves certifying that the CP was built out 
correctly.

I know of a couple of translators that were moved several times here in 
western NY (they're now relaying WCJW 1140 Warsaw), and in this case I 
know they did indeed operate (briefly) at each intermediate location.

It doesn't take much to get a translator on the air, especially the 
little 10-watt jobbies that the WPKZ translator was supposedly using 
along the way. You can build one in a couple of hours, if the goal is 
just to get something in place quickly and then move it a day or two later.
