Question
When may third-party messages be transmitted via remote control?
Answer Options
- A) Under any circumstances in which third party messages are permitted by FCC rules
- B) Under no circumstances except for emergencies
- C) Only when the message is intended for licensed radio amateurs
- D) Only when the message is intended for third parties in areas where licensing is controlled by the FCC
Correct Answer: A
Explanation
The rules for third-party messages apply to a transmission regardless of whether it originates from local control, remote control, or automatic control. FCC Rule \S 97.115 permits third-party messages to be transmitted via remote control under any circumstances in which third-party messages are generally permitted by the FCC rules.
As long as the message complies with the content and destination restrictions (e.g., non-commercial, to a country with a third-party agreement), the method of control (local or remote) does not change the permissibility of the message. The control operator is always responsible for the content of the transmission.
