Technician exam question T1F03
Subelement T1, COMMISSION’S RULES· Group T1F · 47 CFR §97.119(a)
When are you required to transmit your assigned call sign?
- A.At the beginning of each contact, and every 10 minutes thereafter
- B.At least once during each transmission
- C.At least every 15 minutes during and at the end of a communication
- D.At least every 10 minutes during and at the end of a communication (correct answer)
WhyYou're required to transmit your assigned call sign at least every 10 minutes during and at the end of a communication. This is the same §97.119(a) identification interval from the previous question, stated directly: identify with your assigned call sign at least every ten minutes during a contact and again at the end, answer D. A's "beginning of each contact" language and C and B's fifteen-minute intervals don't match the rule's actual ten-minute figure.
