- B.The output power of the balloon transmitter
- C.The station's six-character Maidenhead grid locator
- D.All these choices are correct
WhyA balloon-borne telemetry station's identification transmissions are required to include its call sign. §97.119(a) requires that identification transmissions from a balloon-borne telemetry station include the station's call sign, the same core identification requirement that applies to amateur stations generally, answer A. Transmitter power and a six-character grid locator aren't part of the identification requirement, so neither B nor C nor the "all of these" option D is correct.
