Technician exam question T1A09
Subelement T1, COMMISSION’S RULES· Group T1A · 47 CFR §97.3(a)(22)
Who selects a Frequency Coordinator?
- A.The FCC Office of Spectrum Management and Coordination Policy
- B.The local chapter of the Office of National Council of Independent Frequency Coordinators
- C.Amateur operators in a local or regional area whose stations are eligible to be repeater or auxiliary stations (correct answer)
- D.The FCC Regional Field Office
WhyA Frequency Coordinator is selected by the amateur operators in a local or regional area whose stations are eligible to be repeater or auxiliary stations. Continuing directly from the same definition in §97.3(a)(22), the frequency coordinator itself is chosen by the amateur operators in the area whose stations would actually use the coordinated frequencies, answer C. This keeps coordination a grassroots, self-governing process rather than something imposed top-down, which rules out the FCC-office and regional-field-office choices in A and D, and B names an organization that doesn't exist in the rule.
