Subelement E1, COMMISSION RULES· Group E1E · 47 CFR §97.523
Who is tasked by Part 97 with maintaining the pools of questions for all US amateur license examinations?
- A.The VEs
- B.The FCC
- C.The VECs (correct answer)
- D.The ARRL
WhyThe VECs, the Volunteer Examiner Coordinators, are tasked with maintaining the question pools used for all US amateur license examinations. §97.523 assigns responsibility for maintaining the question pools used in every US amateur license examination to the VECs, the Volunteer Examiner Coordinators, working together through the National Conference of VECs, answer C. Individual VEs administer exams using those pools rather than maintaining them, the FCC doesn't write or update the questions itself, and the ARRL is one VEC among several, not the sole body responsible.
