Question
When must the station and its records be available for FCC inspection?
Answer Options
- A) At any time ten days after notification by the FCC of such an inspection
- B) At any time upon request by an FCC representative
- C) At any time after written notification by the FCC of such inspection
- D) Only when presented with a valid warrant by an FCC official or government agent
Correct Answer: B
Explanation
A condition of your amateur license is that your station and all required records (such as station logs or records related to an investigation) must be available for inspection at any time upon request by an authorized FCC representative.
This means the FCC does not need to provide a warrant or give advance notice. If an FCC official shows up at your door (with proper identification) and asks to inspect your station, you are obligated to comply immediately.
