Question
Who selects a Frequency Coordinator?
Answer Options
- A) The FCC Office of Spectrum Management and Coordination Policy
- B) The local chapter of the Office of National Council of Independent Frequency Coordinators
- C) Amateur operators in a local or regional area whose stations are eligible to be repeater or auxiliary stations
- D) FCC Regional Field Office
Correct Answer: C
Explanation
A Frequency Coordinator is not selected by the government, but rather by the local amateur radio community itself. They are selected by the amateur operators in a local or regional area whose stations are eligible to be repeater or auxiliary stations.
This system ensures the coordination is relevant to local needs. The selection is typically formalized when a group of local repeater owners and operators agrees upon an individual or committee to manage frequency assignments in a fair and orderly way. The FCC merely acknowledges this established coordination process.
