Extra exam question E1D09
Subelement E1, COMMISSION RULES· Group E1D · 47 CFR §97.207
Which UHF amateur bands have frequencies authorized for space stations?
- A.70 centimeters only
- B.70 centimeters and 13 centimeters (correct answer)
- C.70 centimeters and 33 centimeters
- D.33 centimeters and 13 centimeters
WhyThe UHF amateur bands with frequencies authorized for space stations are 70 centimeters and 13 centimeters. §97.207 authorizes space station operation on the 70-centimeter and 13-centimeter UHF amateur bands, answer B. 33 centimeters isn't part of the UHF space station allocation, so any option pairing it with 70 centimeters or 13 centimeters is wrong, and 70 centimeters alone leaves out 13 centimeters, which is also authorized.
