International third-party amateur radio communication in case of emergencies or disaster relief is expressly permitted unless:
- A the foreign administration is in a declared state of war
- B internet service is working well in the foreign country involved
- C specifically prohibited by the foreign administration concerned
- D satellite communication can be originated in the disaster area
Correct answer: C — specifically prohibited by the foreign administration concerned. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.
Why
International rules allow amateur radio operators to help with emergency messages across borders, but this permission stops immediately if the foreign country involved says no. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
