Question
Which of the following restrictions apply when a non-licensed person is allowed to speak to a foreign station using a station under the control of a licensed amateur operator?
Answer Options
- A) The person must be a U.S. citizen
- B) The foreign station must be in a country with which the U.S. has a third party agreement
- C) The licensed control operator must do the station identification
- D) All these choices are correct
Correct Answer: B
Explanation
This scenario describes third-party communications (T1F08), where a non-licensed person (the third party) talks to a foreign station. The licensed control operator must remain at the controls at all times and do the required identification. However, the critical restriction is regulatory:
Communication must be with a country that has a third party agreement with the U.S. government. These agreements are established to permit the exchange of non-business, personal messages. The third party (the speaker) does not need to be a U.S. citizen or hold any license, but the country destination is strictly controlled.
