Question
When, under normal circumstances, may a Technician class licensee be the control operator of a station operating in an Amateur Extra Class band segment?
Answer Options
- A) At no time
- B) When designated as the control operator by an Amateur Extra Class licensee
- C) As part of a multi-operator contest team
- D) When using a club station whose trustee holds an Amateur Extra Class license
Correct Answer: A
Explanation
As established in T1E04, the transmitting privileges are determined by the license class of the control operator. Since Technician class privileges do not include the portions of the bands exclusive to Amateur Extra class operators, a Technician control operator can transmit in those segments At no time.
Even if a higher-class licensee owns the station or is physically present, the moment the Technician takes control and starts transmitting, the station’s operating limits immediately revert to the Technician privileges.
