Sec.  97.213  Telecommand of an amateur station.



    An amateur station on or within 50 km of the Earth's surface may be 

under telecommand where:

    (a) There is a radio or wireline control link between the control 

point and the station sufficient for the control operator to perform 

his/her duties. If radio, the control link must use an auxiliary 

station. A control link using a fiber optic cable or another 

telecommunication service is considered wireline.

    (b) Provisions are incorporated to limit transmission by the station 

to a period of no more than 3 minutes in the event of malfunction in the 

control link.

    (c) The station is protected against making, willfully or 

negligently, unauthorized transmissions.

    (d) A photocopy of the station license and a label with the name, 

address, and telephone number of the station licensee and at least one 

designated control operator is posted in a conspicuous place at the 

station location.
