Subelement E1, COMMISSION RULES· Group E1C · 47 CFR §97.117
Which of the following apply to communications transmitted to amateur stations in foreign countries?
- A.Third party traffic must be limited to that intended for the exclusive use of government and non- Government Organization (NGOs) involved in emergency relief activities
- B.All transmissions must be in English
- C.Communications must be limited to those incidental to the purpose of the amateur service and remarks of a personal nature (correct answer)
- D.All these choices are correct
WhyCommunications transmitted to amateur stations in foreign countries must be limited to matters incidental to the amateur service and remarks of a personal nature. §97.117 limits amateur communications transmitted to stations in foreign countries to matters incidental to the purposes of the amateur service and remarks of a personal nature, the same basic content restriction that applies to amateur radio generally, answer C. There's no rule requiring these transmissions be in English, and while emergency-relief third-party traffic does have its own rules under separate international agreements, that's not the general limitation this question describes.
