Question
What is an amateur station’s control point?
Answer Options
- A) The location of the station’s transmitting antenna
- B) The location of the station’s transmitting apparatus
- C) The location at which the control operator function is performed
- D) The mailing address of the station licensee
Correct Answer: C
Explanation
The control point is the specific, physical location from which the control operator operates the station. It is defined as the location at which the control operator function is performed.
For most amateur stations, this is simply the operator’s home ‘shack.’ Even for a remotely controlled station (T1E10), the control point is where the operator is physically located while remotely manipulating the radio controls, even if that location is miles away from the transmitter itself.
