Which of the following is a purpose of a beacon station as identified in the FCC rules?
Observation of propagation and reception✓Correct answer
Automatic identification of repeaters
Transmission of bulletins of general interest to amateur radio licensees
All these choices are correct
Explanation
The FCC defines a beacon by its purpose rather than by its equipment, and that purpose is propagation observation. Repeater identification and bulletin transmission are different functions covered by other rules, so they do not make a station a beacon.
