§ 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.
