Question
Which of the following would disqualify a third party from participating in sending a message via an amateur station?
Answer Options
- A) The third party’s amateur license has been revoked and not reinstated
- B) The third party is not a US citizen
- C) The third party is speaking in a language other than English
- D) All these choices are correct
Correct Answer: A
Explanation
Third-party communications involve a person who is not the control operator exchanging messages through an amateur station. FCC Rule \S 97.115(\text{b})(\text{2}) prohibits any third party whose amateur license has been revoked or suspended and not reinstated from participating in a message exchange.
This rule prevents individuals who have been found to violate FCC rules from using the amateur service to send messages. Neither a person’s citizenship nor the language they speak is a factor in their ability to participate, only their standing as a licensed or formerly licensed amateur operator.
