Withdrawal of Questions from 2010 Element 2 Technician Class Question Pool
Due to a proposed rule change and pending action by the FCC, the QPC is withdrawing the following questions:
1) T2C02 and T2C03 from the July
2010 Technician Pool effective July 1, 2010. However, VEC’s and publishers may take action to delete
these immediately.
T2C02 (D) [97.113 and FCC Public Notice DA 09-2259]
Who must submit the request for a temporary waiver of Part 97.113
to allow amateur radio operators to provide communications on
behalf of their employers during a government sponsored disaster
drill?
A. Each amateur participating in the drill
B. Any employer participating in the drill
C. The local American Red Cross Chapter
D. The government agency sponsoring the event
~~
T2C03 (C) [97.113]
When is it legal for an amateur licensee to provide
communications on behalf of their employer during a government
sponsored disaster drill or exercise?
A. Whenever the employer is a not-for-profit organization
B. Whenever there is a temporary need for the employer’s
business continuity plan
C. Only when the FCC has granted a government-requested waiver
D. Only when the amateur is not receiving compensation from his
employer for the activity
~~
The above two questions are impacted by the
following NPRM:
hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/FCC-10-45A1.pdf
Adoption of the NPRM appears more likely than
not, abolishing the temporary waiver (T2C02 ) and
making T2C03 an invalid question. Therefore, we feel it is
best to withdraw these two questions now to avoid the possible
inclusion of invalid information in training material now being
prepared.
