Extra exam question E1D12
Subelement E1, COMMISSION RULES· Group E1D · 47 CFR §97.207(e), 97.203(g)
Which of the following amateur stations may transmit one-way communications?
- A.A space station, beacon station, or telecommand station (correct answer)
- B.A local repeater or linked repeater station
- C.A message forwarding station or automatically controlled digital station
- D.All these choices are correct
WhyA space station, a beacon station, or a telecommand station may each transmit one-way communications. §97.207(e) and §97.203(g) permit one-way transmissions specifically from a space station, a beacon station, or a telecommand station, since each of those serves a purpose that doesn't require a two-way exchange, answer A. Ordinary repeaters, message forwarding stations, and automatically controlled digital stations are all still expected to operate as part of a two-way communication system.
