Extra exam question E1F09
Subelement E1, COMMISSION RULES· Group E1F · 47 CFR §FCC Part 97.113(a)(4)
Which of the following cannot be transmitted over an amateur radio mesh network?
- A.Third party traffic
- B.Email
- C.Messages encoded to obscure their meaning (correct answer)
- D.All these choices are correct
WhyMessages encoded specifically to obscure their meaning cannot be transmitted over an amateur radio mesh network. §97.113(a)(4) prohibits messages encoded specifically to obscure their meaning from being transmitted over an amateur radio mesh network, the same general ban on codes and ciphers that applies to amateur communications broadly, answer C. Legitimate third-party traffic and email carried in the clear are both permitted uses of a mesh network, so "all these choices" is too broad.
