Q

Which statement concerning radio log archival by the station licensee is FALSE?

🔍 Key Concepts

• FCC radio station log retention requirements for ships and coast stations • Difference in retention time when there are vs. are not Distress (and Urgency) entries • Special rules for logs that are part of an ongoing investigation or enforcement action

💭 Think About

• Compare the retention periods in each option to the actual FCC requirement: Do they match the exact number of years? • Think about how long especially serious events like Distress calls should be kept—would this normally be shorter or longer than routine entries? • Ask yourself which one option describes a rule that sounds inconsistent with the others or with the idea of preserving evidence for safety/investigations.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the exact number of years required for normal logs with no Distress/Urgency entries in FCC regulations. • Verify the longer retention period specifically required when Distress (and possibly Urgency/Safety) traffic is recorded. • Confirm that logs involved in an investigation/enforcement case cannot be destroyed without proper authorization, regardless of normal retention times.
