Question

Answer Options
- A) The person must be a resident of the US for a minimum of 5 years
- B) The person must hold an FCC granted amateur radio license of General class or above
- C) The person’s home citizenship must be in ITU region 2
- D) None of these choices is correct; a non-US citizen cannot be a Volunteer Examiner
Correct Answer: B
Explanation
The requirements for becoming an accredited Volunteer Examiner (VE) are outlined in FCC Rule \S 97.509(\text{b}). A person must hold an FCC-granted amateur radio operator license of General class or above. This includes non-US citizens, provided they hold a valid US-granted license.
There are no requirements regarding the VE’s citizenship, residency, or ITU region. The essential criterion is possessing a valid US amateur license of the appropriate class (General or higher) to ensure competency and integrity in the testing process.
