Extra exam question E1E08
Subelement E1, COMMISSION RULES· Group E1E · 47 CFR §97.509
To which of the following examinees may a VE not administer an examination?
- A.Employees of the VE
- B.Friends of the VE
- C.Relatives of the VE as listed in the FCC rules (correct answer)
- D.All these choices are correct
WhyA VE may not administer an examination to relatives specifically listed in the FCC's own rules. §97.509 bars a VE from administering an examination to relatives specifically listed in the FCC's own rules (spouse, children, and similarly close relations), a narrower category than every friend or employee a VE might know, answer C. General social or working relationships alone don't disqualify a VE the way a listed family relationship does, so "all these choices" overstates the restriction.
