Question
Which of the following is required in order to operate in accordance with CEPT rules in foreign countries where permitted?
Answer Options
- A) You must identify in the official language of the country in which you are operating
- B) The US embassy must approve of your operation
- C) You must have a copy of FCC Public Notice DA 16-1048
- D) You must append “/CEPT” to your call sign
Correct Answer: C
Explanation
CEPT, or the European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations, is an agreement that provides a simplified process for amateurs from participating countries to operate temporarily in other member countries. For a US-licensed amateur, operating in a CEPT country requires carrying the necessary documentation to prove compliance with the agreement’s terms.
While identifying correctly is necessary, the specific document required by the FCC rules for CEPT operation is FCC Public Notice DA 16-1048 (or the current version of the Public Notice confirming the US compliance). This document, along with your valid US amateur license, demonstrates to the foreign administration that you are operating under the terms of the reciprocal agreement.
