Answer Options
- A) 16 years
- B) 18 years
- C) 21 years
- D) There is no age limit
Correct Answer: B
Explanation
The integrity of the amateur radio license examination process is maintained by requiring VEs to meet certain standards. One of these standards is a minimum age requirement. FCC Rule \S 97.509(\text{b})(\text{2}) states that a person must be at least 18 years of age to be an accredited Volunteer Examiner.
This ensures that the VEs involved in the administration and certification of examination results are adults who can take full legal responsibility for their part in the process.
