Question
What determines the transmitting frequency privileges of an amateur station?
Answer Options
- A) The frequency authorized by the frequency coordinator
- B) The frequencies printed on the license grant
- C) The highest class of operator license held by anyone on the premises
- D) The class of operator license held by the control operator
Correct Answer: D
Explanation
The frequencies and modes that an amateur station is permitted to use are always determined by the class of operator license held by the control operator. This is a fundamental rule that ensures the person responsible for the transmission has the necessary qualifications for the band they are using.
For example, if an Amateur Extra class licensee owns the radio equipment but a Technician class operator is the designated control operator, the station is restricted to operating only within the Technician frequency privileges during that time.
