Technician Licensing Class FCC Rules, descriptions and definitions for the amateur radio service, operator and station license responsibilities T 1 A - T 1 F Valid July 1, 2014 Through June 30, 2018 Developed by Bob Bytheway, K3DIO, and slightly modified by SPARC 1

T 1 A Advancing skills in the technical and communications phases of the radio art is one purpose clearly spelled out in the FCC rules T1A01 The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) makes and enforces all Amateur Radio rules in the United States. T1A02 2

T 1 A Part 97 is the part of the FCC regulations containing the rules governing the Amateur Radio Service. T1A03 3

T 1 A Transmissions that seriously degrades, obstructs, or repeatedly interrupts a radio communication service operating in accordance with the Radio Regulations meet the FCC definition of harmful interference. T1A04 One purpose of the Amateur Radio Service defined by FCC rules and regulations is enhancing international goodwill. T1A05 4

T 1 A Radionavigation Services are protected from interference by amateur signals under all circumstances. T1A06 The FCC Part 97 definition of telemetry is: A one-way transmission of measurements at a distance from the measuring instrument.T1A07 The frequency coordinator recommends transmit and receive channels and other parameters for auxiliary and repeater stations. T1A08 Frequency coordinators are selected by amateur operators in a local or regional area whose stations are eligible to be auxiliary or repeater stations. T1A09 5

T 1 A Per FCC Part 97 definition, Your ham station will consist of radio equipment that will be used for amateur communications T1A10 With your license expired, and during the grace period, you are not permitted to transmit until the FCC license database shows that your license has been renewed. No transmitting during the 2-year grace period! T1C11 6

T 1 A Allowing a person to conduct radio experiments and to communicate with other licensed hams around the world qualifies as permissible uses of Amateur Radio activity. T1A12 The FCC Part 97 definition of telecommand is: A one-way transmission to initiate, modify or terminate functions of a device at a distance. T1A13 If you are interfering with a radiolocation station outside the U.S. on the 23 cm band, stop operating or take steps to eliminate the harmful interference. T1A14 7

T 1 B The ITU is a worldwide United Nations agency for information and communication technology issues. T1B01 8

T 1 B U.S Territories in different ITU regions cause frequency assignments different from the 50 U.S. States. T1B02 52.525 MHz is within the 6-meter band T1B03 146.52 MHz is within the 2-meter band T1B04 9

T 1 B 443.350 MHz is an authorized frequency to a Technician Class license holder in ITU Region 2 on the 70 cm band.T1B05 1296 MHz is a frequency on the 23 cm band authorized T1B06 10

T 1 B When transmitting on 223.50 MHz your are using the 1.25 meter band. T1B07 When amateur service is secondary in some portions of the 70 cm band, U.S. amateurs may find non-amateur stations in the bands, and must avoid interfering with them. T1B08 11

T 1 B It’s not a good practice to set your transmit frequency to be exactly at the edge of an amateur band or sub-band. Calibration error in the transmitter frequency display; Modulation sidebands do not extend beyond the band edge; Allow for transmitter frequency drift; All of these choices are correct T1B09 There are three bands above 30 MHz available to Technician Class operators, 6 meter, 2 meter, and 1.25 meter. Each band has mode-restricted sub-bands. T1B10 12

T 1 B CW is the only emission mode permitted in the mode-restricted sub-bands at 50.0 to 50.1 MHz and 144.0 to 144.1 MHz. T1B11 Amateur operating frequencies are not the same everywhere in the world and vary among the three ITU regions. T1B12 Data emission may be used between 219 and 220 MHz. T1B13 13

T 1 C Special event call signs have a single letter in both the prefix and suffix. T1C01 Ham radio call signs for the United States begin with the letter A, K, N, or W. They also have a single number 0 through 9. W3ABC, K3DIO, WB5QNG are valid call signs. T1C02 Communications incidental to the purposes of the amateur service and remarks of a personal character are the types of international communications permitted by FCC-licensed amateur stations. T1C03 U.S. amateurs are allowed to operate their amateur station in a foreign country when the foreign country authorizes it. T1C04 A 14

T 1 C K1XXX is an example of a Technician Class licensee vanity call sign T1C05 FCC-licensed amateur stations may transmit from any vessel or craft located in international waters and documented or registered in the United States, in addition to places where the FCC regulates communications. T1C06 15

T 1 C Revocation of the station license or suspension of the operator license is possible when correspondence from the FCC is returned as undeliverable because the grantee failed to provide the correct mailing address. T1C07 Special Counsel in the FCC Spectrum Enforcement Division Riley Hollingsworth wrote Larry L. Smith, KC7LJR, of Middleton, Idaho, and Larry J. Maniag, KD7JTG, of Payson, Arizona, to inform them the FCC was suspending their Technician tickets for the remainder of their license terms or until each licensee provides a valid mailing address. 16

T 1 C Amateur station licenses are granted for a term of 10 years. T1C08 There is a 2-year grace period to renew an expired license. T1C09 17

T 1 C After passing your examination for your license, as soon as your operator/station license grant appears in the FCC’s license you may operate on the air. T1C10 With your license expired, and during the grace period, you are not permitted to transmit until the FCC license database shows that your license has been renewed. No transmitting during the 2-year grace period! T1C11 Any licensed amateur can request a vanity call sign. T1C12 18

T 1 C The FCC issues only three ham licenses: Technician General Amateur Extra T1C13 Only the person named as trustee on the club station license grant may select a vanity call for the club. T1C14 19

T 1 D Any country whose administration notifies the ITU that they object to communications with FCC-licensed amateur stations results in prohibition from exchanging communications. T1D01 During an Armed Forces Day Communications Test FCC-licensed amateur stations may exchange messages with a U.S. military station. T1D02 20

T 1 D Transmission of codes or ciphers that hide the meaning of a message is allowed by an amateur station only when transmitting control commands to space stations or radio control craft. T1D03 21

T 1 D The only time an amateur station is authorized to transmit music is when incidental to an authorized retransmission of manned spacecraft communications. T1D04 22

T 1 D Amateur radio operators may use their stations to notify other amateurs of the availability of equipment for sale or trade when the equipment is normally used in an amateur station and such activity is not conducted on a regular basis. T1D05 Transmission of language that may be considered indecent or obscene is prohibited. T1D06 Auxiliary, repeater, or space stations can automatically retransmit the signals of other amateur stations. T1D07 23

T 1 D When the communication is incidental to classroom instruction at an educational institution, the control operator of an amateur station may receive compensation for operating the station. T1D08 Assuming no other means is available, amateur stations are authorized to transmit signals related to broadcasting, program production, or news gathering, only where such communications directly relate to the immediate safety of human life or protection of property. T1D09 24

T 1 D Transmission intended for reception by the general public is termed “broadcasting” in the FCC rules for the amateur services. T1D10 Unidentified transmissions are permitted when transmitting signals to control a model craft. All other unidentified transmissions are prohibited. T1D11 Amateur radio station may engage in broadcasting when transmitting code practice, information bulletins, or transmissions necessary to provide emergency communications. T1D12 25

T 1 E An amateur radio station is never permitted to transmit without a control operator.

T1E02 26

T 1 E The station licensee must designate the station control operator. T1E03 The class of operator license held by the control operator determines the transmitting privileges of an amateur station. T1E04 27

T 1 E The location at which the control operator function is performed is the amateur station control point. T1E05 Automatic control is the type of control when operating APRS network digipeaters. T1E06 The control operator and the station licensee are equally responsible for the proper operation of the amateur station. T1E07 28

T 1 E Repeater operation is an example of automatic control. Local control is the type of control being used when the control operator is at the control point. T1E09 29

T 1 E Operating the station over the Internet is an example of remote control as defined in Part 97. T1E10 Unless documentation to the contrary is in the station records, the FCC presumes the station licensee is the control operator of an amateur station. T1E11 Under normal circumstances, a Technician Class licensee at no time may be the control operator of a station operating in an exclusive Extra Class operator segment of the amateur bands. T1E12 30

T 1 F A Tactical call sign is the type of ID used when identifying an on air station such as ‘Race Headquarters’. T1F01 At a community service net with use of tactical identifiers, your station’s FCC-assigned call sign must be transmitted at the end of each communication and every ten minutes during a communication. T1F02 Requirements for transmitting your call sign station ID – every 10 minutes and at the end of your transmission. T1F03 31

T 1 F The English language is an acceptable language for station identification when operating in a phone sub-band. T1F04 Sending the call sign using CW or phone emission is the method of call sign identification required for a station transmitting phone signals. T1F05 Formats of stroke, slant, or slash are formats of self-assigned indicators acceptable while using phone transmission. T1F06 32

T 1 F When a non-licensed person speaks to a foreign station using a station under the control of a Technician Class control operator, the foreign station must be one with which the U.S. has a third party agreement. T1F07 Indicators required by the FCC used after a station call sign are /KT, /AE, /AG when using new license privileges earned by CSCE while awaiting upgrade in the FCC license database.T1F08 33

T 1 F A repeater station simultaneously retransmits the signal of another amateur station on a different channel or channels. T1F09 34

T 1 F The control operator of the originating station is accountable should a repeater inadvertently retransmit communications that violate FCC rules. T1F10 FCC rules authorize the transmission of non-emergency communications with any station whose government permits such communications. T1F11 At least 4 persons are required to be members of a club for a club station license to be issued by the FCC. T1F12 The station licensee must make the station and its records available for FCC inspection at any time upon request by an FCC representative. T1F13 35
