The Amateur Radio Operator Certificate:
- A must be kept in a safe place
- B must be kept on the person to whom it is issued
- C must be retained at the station
- D must be put on file
Correct answer: C — must be retained at the station. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.
Why
Your certificate must stay at the station where you operate because that is the physical location regulators check to confirm your legal authority to transmit. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
