Question T1A04
From subelement T1 - T1A
How many operator/primary station license grants may be held by any one person?
Why is this correct?
Each person may hold exactly one operator/primary station license grant, which includes one call sign. This single license covers all amateur bands and all locations where you operate. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because the FCC issues only one comprehensive license per person, not multiple licenses for different bands or locations.
Memory tip
Remember the 'one person, one license' rule. Your single amateur license is like a driver's license - it works everywhere you're authorized to operate, whether that's different bands, different modes, or different locations across the country.

Your operator/primary station license grant functions as your complete amateur radio authorization. This single license establishes your frequency privileges across all amateur allocations, your emission standards compliance, and your identification requirements regardless of operating location. The FCC's Universal Licensing System maintains one record per individual, linking your call sign to your license class and operating authority.
Think about it
Why do you think the FCC designed the licensing system to issue one comprehensive license per person rather than separate licenses for different bands or locations?
