General exam question G1E12
Subelement G1, COMMISSION’S RULES· Group G1E · 47 CFR §97.115
When may third-party messages be transmitted via remote control?
- A.Under any circumstances in which third party messages are permitted by FCC rules (correct answer)
- B.Under no circumstances except for emergencies
- C.Only when the message is intended for licensed radio amateurs
- D.Only when the message is intended for third parties in areas where licensing is controlled by the FCC
WhyThird-party messages may be transmitted via remote control under the same circumstances third-party traffic is permitted generally. §97.115 permits third-party messages via remote control under the same circumstances third-party traffic is permitted generally, there's no separate, more restrictive rule just because the station happens to be operated remotely, answer A. Restricting it to emergencies only, to licensed amateurs only, or to FCC-licensed third-party areas only would all be narrower than what the rule actually allows.
