Which of the following one-way communications may NOT be transmitted in the amateur radio service?
- A Broadcasts intended for the general public
- B Radio control commands to model craft
- C Brief transmissions to make adjustments to the station
- D Morse code practice
Correct answer: A — Broadcasts intended for the general public. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.
Why
Broadcasts intended for the general public are forbidden because the amateur service is strictly for two-way communication between licensed operators, not for sending messages to an undefined audience like a radio station. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
