Question E1C11:
[97.5] Which of the following operating arrangements allows an FCC-licensed US citizen to operate in many European countries, and amateurs from many European countries to operate in the US?  

Choices:  
A: CEPT  
B: IARP  
C: ITU reciprocal license  
D: All these choices are correct    

Correct Answer is  A: CEPT  

—  
Correct answer: CEPT

1) Why CEPT is correct
- CEPT (European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations) T/R 61-01 provides temporary reciprocal operating privileges.
- It lets an FCC-licensed US amateur operate in many European countries, and also allows amateurs from many CEPT countries to operate in the US, without obtaining an individual host-country license.

2) Why the other choices are incorrect
- IARP: Inter-American Radio Permit applies to countries in the Americas (CITEL members), not Europe. It does not enable operation in European countries.
- ITU reciprocal license: The ITU does not issue amateur licenses or reciprocal operating privileges; licensing is done by national authorities. There is no such thing as an “ITU reciprocal license.”
- All these choices are correct: False because only CEPT fits the Europe↔US arrangement described.

3) Useful rules of thumb
- CEPT = Europe↔US temporary operating privileges (carry your FCC license and proof of citizenship; use host-country prefix, e.g., F/KD9ABC).
- IARP = Americas-only.
- ITU = sets global radio regs, but does not license individuals.
