necessary for carrying on radio communications.An amateur operator as defined in Part 97 is a person named in an amateur operator/primary license grant in the FCC ULS database.One of the basic purposes of the Amateur Radio Service as defined in Part 97 is to provide a voluntary noncommercial communications service to the public,particularly in times of emergency.Two of the five fundamental purposes for the Amateur Radio Service are to increase the number of trained radio operators and electronics experts,and improve international goodwill.3FCC Rules and Station Licensee Responsibilities

FCC amateur license database,or be an alien with reciprocal operating authorization before you can control an amateur station in the US.A US amateur license allows you to transmit from wherever the Amateur Radio Service is regulated by the FCC or where reciprocal agreements are in place.A US amateur operator may communicate with an amateur in a foreign country at any time unless prohibited by either government.29FCC Rules and Station Licensee Responsibilities T1CSpectrum sharingWhen authorized by the FCC,amateur stations are allowed to communicate with stations operating in other radio services.Communications on a regular basis that could reasonably be furnished alternatively through other radio services are not permitted in the Amateur Radio Service.When an amateur frequency band is said to be available on a secondary basis,amateurs may not cause harmful interference to primary users according to the FCC rules.30FCC Rules and Station Licensee Responsibilities T1DThe station licenseThe government agency that grants your amateur radio license is the Federal Communications Commission(FCC).The FCC issues operator/station licenses in the Amateur Radio Service.Anyone except a

FCC has suspended two Amateur Radio licenses because the holders had failed to maintain correct mailing addresses in the Commissions licensee database.Special Counsel in the FCC Spectrum Enforcement Division Riley Hollingsworth wrote Larry L.Smith,KC7LJR,of Middleton,Idaho,and Larry J.Maniag,KD7JTG,of Payson,Arizona,on June 28,2006 to inform them the FCC was suspending their Technician tickets for the remainder of their license terms or until each licensee provides a valid mailing address.http:/www.arrl.org/news/stories/2006/07/18/100/35FCC Rules and Station Licensee Responsibilities
