Which of the following is part of the Basis and Purpose of the Amateur Radio Service?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: C. Advancing skills in the technical and communication phases of the radio art
FCC rule 97.1 lists the reasons the Amateur Radio Service exists. One of them is advancing skills in the technical and communication phases of the radio art. Ham radio is not meant to be a general radio service for everyone, and contesting is not one of the listed purposes.
Tip: Think 'learn and improve': ham radio exists to build radio skills.
