Technician exam question T1C08
Subelement T1, COMMISSION’S RULES· Group T1C · 47 CFR §97.25
T1C08 · §97.25
What is the normal term for an FCC-issued amateur radio license?
- A.Five years
- B.Eight years
- C.Ten years (correct answer)
- D.Life
WhyThe normal term for an FCC-issued amateur radio license is ten years. §97.25 sets the standard term of an FCC amateur radio license at ten years from the date it's granted or last renewed, answer C. Five and eight years (A, B) aren't the term Part 97 uses, and "life" (D) confuses the license term with the fact that renewal is normally routine and inexpensive, not that the original grant never expires.
