When do the FCC Part 97 Amateur Radio Service rules NOT apply to the operation of an amateur station?
When operating under RACES rules
When operating under FEMA rules
When operating under ARES rules
FCC rules always apply✓Correct answer
Explanation
RACES, ARES and any served-agency arrangement all operate inside the Amateur Radio Service, so Part 97 governs throughout. An emergency can change what traffic is justified, but it never suspends the rules.
