General exam question G1A05
Subelement G1, COMMISSION’S RULES· Group G1A · 47 CFR §97.301(d)
On which of the following frequencies are General class licensees prohibited from operating as control operator?
- A.7.125 MHz to 7.175 MHz (correct answer)
- B.28.000 MHz to 28.025 MHz
- C.21.275 MHz to 21.300 MHz
- D.All these choices are correct
WhyA General class control operator cannot transmit between 7.125 MHz and 7.175 MHz, a 40-meter segment reserved for Amateur Extra control operators. 7.125 MHz to 7.175 MHz sits in the 40-meter CW/data segment reserved for Amateur Extra class control operators, so a General class operator cannot transmit there, answer A. 28.000-28.025 MHz is within the 10-meter band, which is open to General across its entire span, and 21.275-21.300 MHz falls inside General's own phone allocation on 15 meters, so neither of those excludes General privileges.
