Technician exam question T1A11
Subelement T1, COMMISSION’S RULES· Group T1A · 47 CFR §97.101(d)
Which of the following is prohibited?
- A.International communications on VHF bands and higher frequencies
- B.Willful or malicious interference (correct answer)
- C.Third-party traffic using digital modes
- D.All these choices are correct
WhyWillful or malicious interference with other stations is prohibited under the amateur rules. §97.101(d) prohibits willful or malicious interference with any radio communication, a baseline good-conduct rule that applies regardless of mode or band, making B correct. A is actually permitted, VHF-and-up international contacts happen routinely, and C, third-party digital traffic, is allowed under the conditions covered elsewhere in Part 97, so D can't be right since it depends on all three being banned.
