Subelement T1, COMMISSION’S RULES· Group T1F · 47 CFR §97.119(b)(2)
What language must you use for identification when using a phone emission?
- A.Any language recognized by the United Nations
- B.Any language recognized by the ITU
- C.English (correct answer)
- D.English, French, or Spanish
WhyEnglish is the language required for identification when using a phone emission. §97.119(b)(2) requires English for station identification when using a phone (voice) emission, so that identification is understandable to enforcement and other listeners regardless of what language the rest of the conversation is conducted in, answer C. A and B both substitute broader international-body language standards that the rule doesn't actually reference, and D adds languages beyond what's permitted.
