Technician exam question T1A06
Subelement T1, COMMISSION’S RULES· Group T1A · 47 CFR §97.203(d)
On which of the following HF frequencies can automatically controlled amateur propagation beacons be found?
- A.Anywhere in the Technician portion of 10 meters
- B.Anywhere, if they are registered with the FCC
- C.In a specific portion of each of the HF Technician bands
- D.On ten meters, between 28.200 MHz and 28.300 MHz (correct answer)
WhyAutomatically controlled amateur propagation beacons operate on 10 meters, between 28.200 MHz and 28.300 MHz. §97.203(d) confines automatically controlled beacon stations on HF to a narrow, specific slice of spectrum: 28.200 to 28.300 MHz on 10 meters, chosen because propagation beacons there are useful worldwide and won't tie up busier voice or data segments. D names that exact segment and is correct. A and C are both too vague to be right, and B invents a registration requirement that doesn't exist in the rule.
