- A.The FCC requires a log of all international contacts
- B.The FCC requires a log of all international third-party traffic
- C.The log provides evidence of operation needed to renew a license without retest
- D.To help with a reply if the FCC requests information about your station (correct answer)
WhyMany amateurs keep a station log so they have something to refer to if the FCC ever requests information about their station. A station log is useful evidence to have on hand if the FCC ever asks about your station's operation or history, answer D. There's no FCC requirement to log every international contact or every piece of third-party traffic, and a log isn't what lets you renew a license without retesting, license renewal doesn't require any exam retake in the first place.
