Question 326

Who is permitted to receive telemetry from an amateur radio satellite?

  1. AnyoneCorrect answer
  2. Only the satellite control operator
  3. Only the control operator or a licensed radio amateur who has received the encryption key from the control operator
  4. Only a licensed radio amateur who has received the encryption key from AMSAT

Explanation

Amateur satellite telemetry is transmitted openly, and telemetry formats are published so that listeners can decode them; there is no encryption key and no rule restricting who may listen. Reception of amateur signals is not licensed activity at all, so the choices requiring a license or a key are wrong.
