Technician exam question T1D11
Subelement T1, COMMISSION’S RULES· Group T1D · 47 CFR §97.215
When may an amateur station transmit without identifying on the air?
- A.When the transmissions are of a brief nature to make station adjustments
- B.When the transmissions are unmodulated
- C.When the transmitted power level is below 0.1 watt
- D.When transmitting signals to control model craft (correct answer)
WhyAn amateur station may transmit without identifying on the air when transmitting signals to control model craft. §97.215 exempts model craft control signals from the on-air identification requirement, since a station steering a radio-controlled aircraft, boat, or car isn't carrying a message meant to identify a communicating party, answer D. Brief adjustment transmissions (A), unmodulated carriers (B), and low power levels (C) don't exempt a station from identifying; the model-control exception is a specific, separate carve-out.
