Section B-001-015

If you let another amateur radio operator with additional qualifications than yours control your station and operate under your call sign, what operating privileges are allowed?

  • Any privileges allowed by the additional qualifications
  • Correct Answer
    Only the privileges allowed by your qualifications
  • All the frequency privileges of the additional qualifications, but only the emission privileges of your qualifications
  • All the emission privileges of the additional qualifications, but only the frequency privileges of your qualifications

Given the owner of the station and the control operator are JOINTLY responsible, they only have in common the lesser of the privileges. Quoted from a 1980 TRC-25: "57) a licensee may permit another certificate holder to operate his station using only such frequencies and emission modes as the licensee is qualified to use or, if the person is not as qualified as the licensee, only such frequencies and emission modes as the person is qualified to use". Interpretation: a licensed visiting operator may only operate the station within your or his privileges, whichever are lower.

In addition to passing the Basic written examination, what must you do before you are allowed to use amateur radio frequencies below 30 MHz?

  • Correct Answer
    You must attain a mark of 80% on the Basic examination, or pass an Advanced or Morse code examination
  • You must attend a class to learn about HF communications
  • You must notify Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada that you intend to operate on the HF bands
  • You must pass a provincial communications examination

Until July 2003, it was an ITU regulation that amateurs needed to demonstrate Morse proficiency before being allowed BELOW 30 MHz. In July 2005, Canada added alternatives to the Morse qualification; namely, an 80% mark on the Basic qualification or an Advanced qualification.
