Question

What is the normal term for an FCC-issued amateur radio license?

Answer Options

  • A) Five years
  • B) Life
  • C) Ten years
  • D) Eight years

Correct Answer: C


Explanation

The Federal Communications Commission issues amateur radio licenses for a standard term of ten years. This long term is a significant benefit to amateur radio operators, simplifying long-term planning for the hobby.

At the end of the ten-year period, the license must be renewed, but no re-examination is required to renew any class of amateur license. Simply apply to the FCC before the expiration date.
