General exam question G1B11
Subelement G1, COMMISSION’S RULES· Group G1B · 47 CFR §97.101(a)
Who or what determines “good engineering and good amateur practice,” as applied to the operation of an amateur station in all respects not covered by the Part 97 rules?
- A.The FCC (correct answer)
- B.The control operator
- C.The IEEE
- D.The ITU
WhyThe FCC, not the control operator, defines what counts as good engineering and good amateur practice wherever Part 97 doesn't specify a rule. §97.101(a) puts the FCC, not the control operator, the IEEE, or the ITU, in charge of defining what counts as good engineering and good amateur practice wherever Part 97 doesn't spell out a specific rule, answer A. The control operator still has to exercise that judgment day to day, but the standard itself is the FCC's to set.
