*Question G1B08:
[97.111(a)(1)] When is it permissible to communicate with amateur stations in countries outside the areas administered by the Federal Communications Commission?*  

*Correct Answer is  B: When the contact is with amateurs in any country except those whose administrations have notified the ITU that they object to such communications*  

### AI Response: (may contain errors)  

The correct answer to the question is:

**B: When the contact is with amateurs in any country except those whose administrations have notified the ITU that they object to such communications.**

### Explanation of the Correct Answer:
- The FCC allows communication with amateur stations in foreign countries as long as those countries have not objected to such communications through the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). This means that if a country has not notified the ITU of any objections, you can legally communicate with amateur operators there.

### Why the Other Choices are Incorrect:
- **A: Only when the foreign country has a formal third-party agreement filed with the FCC**
  - This is incorrect because the requirement is not about having a formal agreement with the FCC, but rather about whether the foreign country has objected to communications.

- **C: Only when the contact is with amateurs licensed by a country which is a member of the United Nations, or by a territory possessed by such a country**
  - This is incorrect because membership in the United Nations does not automatically grant permission for amateur communications. The key factor is whether the country has objected to such communications.

- **D: Only when the contact is with amateurs licensed by a country which is a member of the International Amateur Radio Union, or by a territory possessed by such a country**
  - This is also incorrect. While membership in the International Amateur Radio Union (IARU) is beneficial for amateur radio, it does not determine the legality of communications. The critical factor remains whether the country has objected to communications.

### Summary:
- You can communicate with amateur stations in any country unless that country has formally objected to such communications through the ITU. Always check for any notifications from the ITU regarding objections to ensure compliance with regulations.
