🔍 Key Concepts

• FCC radio log requirements for compulsory ships and coast stations • Difference between operator in charge vs. any licensed operator • Who has legal responsibility for station records and compliance

💭 Think About

• Who is legally accountable if the log is wrong or missing – the person turning the knobs, or the person responsible for the station? • Do the regulations require a specific license class to sign the log, or do they tie the duty to a position (like operator in charge)? • Look at how the rules describe the person responsible for ensuring the station complies with all radio regulations.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option ties the duty to the person responsible for station operation/maintenance, not just anyone with a license • Check if the rules allow delegation of log‑keeping, or if the responsible person must ensure entries are made • Confirm whether the regulation names a specific license type or uses a broader role description for the logkeeper
