Question
Which of the following self-assigned indicators are acceptable when using a phone transmission?
Answer Options
- A) KL7CC stroke W3
- B) KL7CC slant W3
- C) KL7CC slash W3
- D) All these choices are correct
Correct Answer: D
Explanation
When operating away from your home geographic area (e.g., a station with a Region 7 call sign operating in Region 3), the FCC permits you to attach a temporary, self-assigned indicator to your call sign to inform other operators of your portable or mobile location. For example, KL7CC operating in the W3 call area might add “/W3”.
When identifying this verbally (in a phone transmission), the rule permits you to use the words “stroke,” “slant,” or “slash” to indicate the mobile or portable operation. Therefore, all three options are acceptable for this purpose.
