SUBPART C - SPECIAL OPERATIONS
97.201 Auxiliary operation.
(a) Any amateur station licensed to a holder of a Technician,
General, Advanced or Amateur Extra Class operator license may be
an auxiliary station. A holder of a Technician, General, Advanced
or Amateur Extra Class operator license may be the control operator
of an auxiliary station, subject to the privileges of the class of
operator license held.
(b) An auxiliary station may transmit only on the 1.25 m and
shorter wavelength bands, except the 220.0-220.5 MHz segment and
the UHF 431-433 MHz and 435-438 MHz segments.
(c) Where an auxiliary station causes harmful interference to
another auxiliary station, the two stations are equally and fully
responsible for resolving the interference unless one station's
operation is recommended by a frequency coordinator and the other
station's is not. In that case, the licensee of the
non-coordinated auxiliary station has primary responsibility to
resolve the interference.
(d) An auxiliary station operation may be automatically
controlled only when it is part of a system that includes a
repeater station also being automatically controlled.
(f) An auxiliary station may transmit one-way communications.
97.203 Beacon station.
(a) Any amateur station licensed to a holder of a Technician,
General, Advanced or Amateur Extra Class operator license may be
a beacon. A holder of a Technician, General, Advanced or Amateur
Extra Class operator license may be the control operator of a
beacon, subject to the privileges of the class of operator license
held.
(b) A beacon station must not concurrently transmit on more
than 1 channel in the same amateur service frequency band, from
the same station location.
(c) The transmitter power of a beacon must not exceed 100 W.
(d) A beacon may be automatically controlled when it is
transmitting on the 28.20-28.30 MHz, 50.06-50.08 MHz, 144.05-144.06
MHz, 220.05-220.06 MHz, 222.05-222.06 or 432.07-432.08 MHz
segments, or on the 33 cm and shorter wavelength bands.
(e) Before establishing an automatically controlled beacon in
the National Radio Quiet Zone or before changing the transmitting
frequency, transmitter power, antenna height or directivity, the
station licensee must give written notification thereof to the
Interference Office, National Radio Astronomy Observatory, P.O.
Box 2, Green Bank, WV 24994.
(1) The notification must include the geographical
coordinates of the antenna, antenna ground elevation above mean sea
level (AMSL), antenna center of radiation above ground level (AGL),
antenna directivity, proposed frequency, type of emission, and
transmitter power.
(2) If an objection to the proposed operation is received
by the FCC from the National Radio Astronomy Observatory at Green
Bank, Pocahontas County, WV, for itself or on behalf of the Naval
Research Laboratory at Sugar Grove, Pendleton County, WV, within
20 days from the date of notification, the FCC will consider all
aspects of the problem and take whatever action is deemed
appropriate.
(f) A beacon must cease transmissions upon notification by an
EIC that the station is operating improperly or causing undue
interference to other operations. The beacon may not resume
transmitting without prior approval of the EIC.
(g) A beacon may transmit one-way communications.

General, Advanced or Amateur Extra Class operator license may be
a repeater. A holder of a Technician, General, Advanced or Amateur
Extra Class operator license may be the control operator of a

431.0-433.0 MHz and 435.0-438.0 MHz segments.
(c) Where the transmissions of a repeater cause harmful
interference to another repeater, the two station licensees are
equally and fully responsible for resolving the interference unless
the operation of one station is recommended by a frequency
coordinator and the operation of the other station is not. In that
case, the licensee of the non-coordinated repeater has primary
responsibility to resolve the interference.
(d) A repeater may be automatically controlled.
(e) Ancillary functions of a repeater that are available to
users on the input channel are not considered remotely controlled
functions of the station. Limiting the use of a repeater to only
certain user stations is permissible.
(f) Before establishing a repeater in the National Radio Quiet
Zone or before changing the transmitting frequency, transmitter
power, antenna height or directivity, or the location of an
existing repeater, the station licensee must give written
notification thereof to the Interference Office, National Radio
Astronomy Observatory, P.O. Box 2, Green Bank, WV 24994.

antenna directivity, proposed frequency, type of emission, and
transmitter power.
(2) If an objection to the proposed operation is received
by the FCC from the National Radio Astronomy Observatory at Green
Bank, Pocahontas County, WV, for itself or on behalf of the Naval
Research Laboratory at Sugar Grove, Pendleton County, WV, within
20 days from the date of notification, the FCC will consider all
aspects of the problem and take whatever action is deemed
appropriate.
