E1B08
What limitations may the FCC place on an amateur station if its signal causes interference to domestic broadcast reception, assuming that the receivers involved are of good engineering design?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: D. The amateur station must avoid transmitting during certain hours on frequencies that cause the interference
If an amateur station interferes with domestic broadcast reception on well-designed receivers, the FCC may require it to avoid transmitting on the offending frequencies during certain hours. It does not require shutting down entirely.
Tip: Quiet hours, not a full shutdown.
FCC rule reference: Part 97.121
