Question
From which of the following locations may an FCC-licensed amateur station transmit?
Answer Options
- A) From within any country that belongs to the International Telecommunication Union
- B) From within any country that is a member of the United Nations
- C) From anywhere within International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Regions 2 and 3
- D) From any vessel or craft located in international waters and documented or registered in the United States
Correct Answer: D
Explanation
An FCC license allows operation within the territorial limits of the United States. When traveling outside these limits, your license permits operation from any vessel or craft located in international waters (or air space) and documented or registered in the United States.
If you want to operate from a foreign country’s land, you must comply with any treaties or reciprocal operating agreements the US has with that specific country. Operating from any country without such an agreement is prohibited.
