Question T1F11
From subelement T1 - T1F
Which of the following is a requirement for the issuance of a club station license grant?
Why is this correct?
The correct answer is B. According to FCC Part 97.5(b)(2), a club must have at least four members to qualify for a club station license grant. This ensures the club represents a legitimate amateur radio group rather than just an individual. Option A is wrong because the trustee needs any valid operator license, not specifically Amateur Extra. Option C is incorrect because ARRL registration is not an FCC requirement for club licensing.
Memory tip
Remember that FCC requirements are separate from voluntary organization memberships. The FCC sets minimum standards for legitimate club operations, while groups like ARRL provide additional services. Focus on what the government requires versus what amateur radio organizations offer.

Club station licenses under Part 97 require the club to demonstrate legitimate amateur radio purpose through organizational structure. Beyond the four-member minimum, clubs need a designated trustee holding any valid operator license grant, formal documentation of organization, and amateur radio as their primary purpose. The trustee assumes responsibility for station operation compliance, making this a bridge between individual and institutional amateur radio privileges.
Think about it
Why do you think the FCC requires at least four members rather than allowing smaller groups or individuals to form 'clubs' for licensing purposes?
