Which agency regulates and enforces the rules for the Amateur Radio Service in the United States?
- A.ARRL
- B.Homeland Security
- C.The FCC (correct answer)
- D.All these choices are correct
WhyThe FCC regulates and enforces the rules for the Amateur Radio Service in the United States. The Amateur Radio Service is licensed and regulated entirely by the FCC under §97.1, which is why the exam itself is an FCC-recognized credential, not a certification issued by a private organization. C is correct. A, the ARRL, is a private membership organization that advocates for hams and publishes study material, but it has no regulatory authority. Homeland Security has no role in amateur radio licensing.
