Sec. 97.213  Telecommand of an amateur station.

    An amateur station on or within 50 km of the Earth's surface may be 
under telecommand where:
    (a) There is a radio or wireline control link between the control 
point and the station sufficient for the control operator to perform 
his/her duties. If radio, the control link must use an auxiliary 
station. A control link using a fiber optic cable or another 
telecommunication service is considered wireline.
    (b) Provisions are incorporated to limit transmission by the station 
to a period of no more than 3 minutes in the event of malfunction in the 
control link.
    (c) The station is protected against making, willfully or 
negligently, unauthorized transmissions.
    (d) A photocopy of the station license and a label with the name, 
address, and telephone number of the station licensee and at least one 
designated control operator is posted in a conspicuous place at the 
station location.
