* If using non-English, must identify your station in English

==Section 3.3: Control Operator Privileges==

* General class has all amateur privileges on 160, 60, 30, 17, 12, 10 m
* Phone is prohibited on 30 m
* Images are prohibited on 30 m
* 5 channel: 60 m
* General class 40 m band: 7.0-7.3 MHz (7.250 MHz in band)
* General class 75 m band: 3.5-3.6, 3.8-4.0 MHz (3.900 MHz in band)
* General class 20 m phone band: 14.225-14.350 phone (14305 kHZ in band)

* Frequencies open to General on 10 m: 28.0-29.7 MHz (28.020, 28.350, 28.550 all ok)
* If general class not permitted to use entire voice portion, typically allowed at UPPER FREQUENCY end
* If FCC designates Amateur Service as secondary, amateur stations only allowed to use band if they do not cause harmful interference
* On 60 m or 30 m, if primary station interferes with your signal, move or stop transmitting
* Beacon rules: one beacon per band per location, 100 W PEP max
* Beacon purpose: observation of propagation/reception
* Music may be transmitted if part of manned spacecraft retransmission
* Amateur stations can TX secret codes to control a space station
* Prosigns may be used if they can't obscure meaning
* Amateur station may transmit communications in which they have monetary interest if:
** other hams notified
** ham gear
** not regular
* Power limit for beacon stations is 100 W PEP
* Third party messages not allowed if 3rd part y has a revoked license
* a 10 m repeater may retransmit a 2m signal from a Tech class station if repeater operated by Generla class license
* Amateurs must take steps to avoid harmful interference. All:
** When operating within 1 mi of FCC monitoring station
** When secondary user on band
** When transmitting spread spectrum emissions
* Third party foreign message passing allowed/transmitted only if personal, or if emergency or disaster relief
