Which of the following is a provision of the International Telecommunication Union's Radio Regulations that applies to Canadian amateur radio operators?
- A Radiocommunications between certified amateur radio operators are always permitted even if a country objects
- B Amateur radio operators may recover reasonable costs from transmitting third-party messages
- C International communications are permitted unless an administration has registered an objection
- D Certification requirements in the amateur radio service are prescribed in the Radio Regulations
Correct answer: C — International communications are permitted unless an administration has registered an objection. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.
