What is required to conduct communications with a digital station operating under automatic control outside the automatic control band segments?
The correct answer is A: The station initiating the contact must be under local or remote control. To conduct communications with a digital station operating under automatic control outside the automatic control band segments, the station initiating the contact must be under local or remote control. Automatic control stations can only respond within their designated segments, so the initiating station must be manually controlled. For amateur radio operators, this ensures proper control and oversight of communications. Understanding this helps when operating with automatic control stations.
Exam Tip
Communicate with auto-control station outside segments = initiating station must be local/remote control. Think 'A'utomatic 'C'ontrol = 'A'nother 'C'ontrol (local/remote) must initiate. Initiating station must be manually controlled (local/remote), not automatically controlled.
Memory Aid
"Communicate with auto-control outside segments = initiating station must be local/remote control. Think 'A'utomatic 'C'ontrol = 'A'nother 'C'ontrol must initiate. Initiating station must be manually controlled. Ensures human oversight."
Real-World Application
You want to contact a digital station operating under automatic control on a frequency outside the automatic control segments. You must initiate the contact from a station under local or remote control (manual control). The automatically controlled station can respond, but the initiating station must have human control. This ensures proper oversight of communications.
Key Concepts
Why Other Options Are Wrong
Option B: Incorrect. The interrogating transmission can't be from another automatically controlled station - the initiating station must be under local or remote control (manual control).
Option C: Incorrect. Third-party traffic restrictions aren't the requirement - the requirement is about control type, not traffic type.
Option D: Incorrect. Amateur Extra class license isn't required - the requirement is about control type (local/remote), not license class.
