Technician exam question T1D12
Subelement T1, COMMISSION’S RULES· Group T1D · 47 CFR §97.119(a)
Which of the following is required when making on-the-air test transmissions?
- A.Identify the transmitting station (correct answer)
- B.Conduct tests only between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. local time
- C.Notify the FCC of the transmissions
- D.All these choices are correct
WhyIdentifying the transmitting station is required when making on-the-air test transmissions. §97.119(a) requires station identification on every transmission, including on-the-air test transmissions, since a test signal is still occupying the airwaves and needs to be traceable to a licensed station, answer A. There's no FCC notification requirement for tests (ruling out C) and no restriction limiting tests to overnight hours (ruling out B), so D, which depends on both of those being true, is also wrong.
