T1D: Responsibility of licensee

As a station licensee you are responsible for the proper operation of the station in accordance with the FCC rules. Any licensed amateur chosen by the station licensee can be the control operator of an amateur station. Both the control operator and the station licensee are responsible for the proper operation of an amateur station.

The control point of an amateur station is the location at which the control operator function is performed. When an amateur station is transmitting, its control operator must be at the station's control point.

If you are the control operator at the station of another amateur who has a higher class license than yours, your operating privileges are only the privileges allowed by your license.

An amateur station must be identified at least every ten minutes during and at the end of a contact. No identification is required when two amateur stations begin communications. When two amateur stations end communications each station must transmit its own call sign. The longest period of time an amateur station can operate without transmitting its call sign is 10 minutes.

CW is the only emission type that may always be used for station identification, regardless of the transmitting frequency.

If you are a Technician licensee with a Certificate of Successful Completion of Examination (CSCE) for a Morse code exam, transmitting on the 10 meter band, no special form of identification is needed.
