Extra exam question E1F10
Subelement E1, COMMISSION RULES· Group E1F · 47 CFR §97.201
Who may be the control operator of an auxiliary station?
- A.Any licensed amateur operator
- B.Only Technician, General, Advanced, or Amateur Extra class operators (correct answer)
- C.Only General, Advanced, or Amateur Extra class operators
- D.Only Amateur Extra class operators
WhyThe control operator of an auxiliary station may be a Technician, General, Advanced, or Amateur Extra class operator. §97.201 permits Technician, General, Advanced, or Amateur Extra class operators to serve as the control operator of an auxiliary station, a category that excludes only the narrower legacy Novice class, which lacks the auxiliary and repeater-link privileges the other classes carry, answer B. That's why option A, "any licensed amateur operator," overstates the eligibility, and options limiting it to General and above unnecessarily exclude Technician operators who are in fact eligible.
