Question
Who must designate the station control operator?
Answer Options
- A) The station licensee
- B) The FCC
- C) The frequency coordinator
- D) Any licensed operator
Correct Answer: A
Explanation
The ultimate responsibility for operating an amateur station lies with the owner of the station and its call sign. Therefore, the station licensee is the person who must designate the control operator.
If the licensee is present and operating the station, they are the control operator by default. If another licensed amateur (a visiting operator) uses the station, the station licensee must officially designate that person as the control operator.
