Question
Which of the following frequencies is within the General class portion of the 15-meter band?
Answer Options
- A) 14250 kHz
- B) 18155 kHz
- C) 21300 kHz
- D) 24900 kHz
Correct Answer: C
Explanation
The 15\text{-meter} band covers from 21.000 \text{MHz} to 21.450 \text{MHz}. The General class licensee privileges start at 21.025 \text{MHz} for CW/data and 21.275 \text{MHz} for phone. Since 21300 \text{kHz} (21.300 \text{MHz}) falls within the 21.275-21.450 \text{MHz} phone/image sub-band available to General class operators, it is a frequency they can operate on.
By contrast, 14250 \text{kHz} is in the 20\text{-meter} band, 18155 \text{kHz} is in the 17\text{-meter} band, and 24900 \text{kHz} is in the 12\text{-meter} band. While General class operators have privileges on those bands, only the 21300 \text{kHz} option is actually in the 15\text{-meter} band. This question tests the operator’s knowledge of both the correct band and the specific General class sub-band allocations within it.
