  1. Chapter 3Rules and Regulations

  2. Regulators • ITU • Sets up international rules and agreements • USA is in Region 2 • 3.9 to 4 MHz and 7.2 to 7.3 MHz Region 2 only • FCC • Administers rules for Amateurs • Amateur Auxiliary Volunteers monitor bands to encourage self regulation • FAA • Must notify if Tower is over 200ft AGL • Additional rules id >4 miles from airport

  3. Control Operator Responsibilities. The FCC’s primary concern is that transmissions are made only under the control of a licensed operator. Control Operator – the licensed amateur responsible for making sure transmissions comply with FCC rules. Most Important Information

  4. Licensing • Exams administered by >3 VEs accredited by a VEC • VE must be 18 or older and hold General Class • General Class VE may administer Technician Exam • Extra Class VE may administer any exam • If you have a Tech License and pass Ele 4 • You will receive CSCE valid for 365 days • You may immediately use new previlages • When operating in the General segments identify as Call/AG

  5. Must have a valid FCC issued Amateur Radio license Station must operate within the authorization of the control operator’s license Control operator must be present at the control point of the station (the on-off switch) or remotely connected by a control link Control Operator

  6. Non-licensed people can use a ham radio but only when a control operator is present. The control operator is solely responsible for station operation. Licensed guests can use the ham radio. In this case, both the control operator and the guest ham are responsible for station operation. Guest Operations

  7. Normal ID Say your call sign every ten minutes during and at the end of the contact (QSO). Use of Tactical Call Signs Does not substitute for proper station ID. Station Identification(ID)

  8. Beacons • Automatic transmitter help understand propagation • Max Power 100w • No more that one on a band at a location

  9. QRN Natural interference (thunderstorms). Man-made (appliances and power lines). QRM Interference from nearby signals. Other hams or other users of the frequencies. Control operators should prevent interfering with other users of the frequencies. Interference

  10. Use common sense and courtesy. Keep equipment in proper operating order. No one owns a frequency, be a good neighbor and share. Yield to special operations and special circumstances. Preventing Interference

  11. Harmful Interference that is disruptive but not intentional. Deal with it as best you can and help others avoid harmful interference. Willful Intentionally causing interference. This becomes a legal and law enforcement issue. This is rare and there are procedures to deal with this (ARRL Official Observers can help). Interference

  12. Third-party means that a non-ham is involved in communication via ham radio. Could be actually speaking on the air. Could be passing a message on behalf of the non-ham. Two situations – different rules. Within the US. Communication that crosses international borders. Third-Party Communications

  13. No special rules. Just make sure the message is non-commercial in nature. Third-Party Within US

  14. Make sure that third-party agreement exists. Check for current third-party agreements from FCC sources if in doubt. You might be surprised at the countries that we do not have third-party agreements with. During station identification say both stations’ call signs. Third-Party Across Borders

  15. Some stations, repeaters and beacons operate without the control operator physically present at the control point. These stations must still comply with control operator stipulations. Local Remote Automatic Remote and Automatic Control

  16. Unidentified transmissions. (not giving your call sign) False or deceptive signals. (using someone else’s call sign) False distress or emergency signals. (fake calls for help) Obscene or indecent speech. (up to interpretation) Music. Prohibited Transmissions

  17. You cannot make a profit through the use of transmissions made via ham radio. The exception is teachers using ham radio in their classrooms. No Business Communications

  18. Encryption involves encoding information for transmission that must be decoded upon reception to interpret the information. This is okay if: Coding is open source. Intention is not to hide the message or deceive. Allowed for control of satellite or RC vechicle No Encrypted Transmissions

  19. Broadcasting is sending one-way transmissions with no expectation of getting a response. News Music Exceptions: Code practice. Ham radio related bulletins. Re-transmission of shuttle communications. No Broadcasting

  20. Ham communication is generally intended for hams. Emergencies and critical situations create special circumstances. Special commemorative events may qualify as special circumstances. Normal rules return when the situation returns to normal. Special Circumstances

  21. Technical Standards • Operate in conformance with good engineering and amateur practice. • Power 1500 W PEP Maximum • On 30 Meters 200W PEP Maximum • On 60 Meters 50W ERP Maximum • Use minimum power necessary • QRP – low power operations <5 to 10W

  22. Digital Transmissions • Maximum Symbol Rates & Bandwidth • <28 MHz 300 baud & 1kHz • 10 meters 1200 baud & 1kHz • 6 & 2 meters 19.6kbaud & 20 kHz • 1.25 m & 70 cm 56kbaud & 100 kHz • 33cm & above no limits
