Subelement T1, COMMISSION’S RULES· Group T1D · 47 CFR §97.113(a)(3)(iii)
In which of the following circumstances may the control operator of an amateur station receive compensation for operating that station?
- A.When the communication is related to the sale of amateur equipment by the control operator's employer
- B.When the communication is a part of classroom instruction at an educational institution (correct answer)
- C.When the communication is made to obtain emergency information for a local broadcast station
- D.All these choices are correct
WhyA control operator may receive compensation for operating a station when the communication is part of classroom instruction at an educational institution. §97.113(a)(3)(iii) allows a control operator to be compensated in one specific situation: when the communication is part of classroom instruction conducted as a formal part of an educational institution's programs, answer B. Sales-related communication for an employer (A) and supplying emergency information to a broadcast station (C) don't fall under this compensation exception, so D, which depends on all three being valid, is also wrong.
