If an amateur station is installed aboard a ship or aircraft, what condition must be met before the station is operated?
Its operation must be approved by the master of the ship or the pilot in command of the aircraft✓Correct answer
The amateur station operator must agree not to transmit when the main radio of the ship or aircraft is in use
The amateur station must have a power supply that is completely independent of the main ship or aircraft power supply
The amateur station must operate only in specific segments of the amateur service HF and VHF bands
Explanation
Installing and operating an amateur station on a ship or aircraft requires approval by the master of the ship or the pilot in command of the aircraft. The rules separately require the station to be independent of the vessel's other radio apparatus and not to be a hazard, but they impose no independent power supply and no special band segments.
