*Question G1D03:
[97.9(b)] On which of the following band segments may you operate if you are a Technician class operator and have an unexpired Certificate of Successful Completion of Examination (CSCE) for General class privileges?*  

*Correct Answer is  C: On any General or Technician class band segment*  

### AI Response: (may contain errors)  

When you pass the General class exam and receive a Certificate of Successful Completion of Examination (CSCE), you are granted immediate operating privileges on the General class band segments. This is valid for 365 days from the date of the exam, provided you have a Technician class license.

Here's why the correct answer is correct and the others are not:

1. **Correct Answer: C - On any General or Technician class band segment**

   - With a CSCE for General class privileges, you can operate on both General and Technician class band segments immediately. This allows you to use the additional frequencies allocated to General class operators while your upgrade is being processed by the FCC.

2. **Why the other choices are incorrect:**

   - **Choice A: Only the Technician band segments until your upgrade is posted in the FCC database**
     - This is incorrect because the CSCE grants you immediate access to General class privileges, not just Technician segments.

   - **Choice B: Only on the Technician band segments until you have a receipt for the FCC application fee payment**
     - This is incorrect because the CSCE itself is sufficient to grant you General class privileges without needing a receipt for the application fee.

   - **Choice D: On any General or Technician class band segment except 30 meters and 60 meters**
     - This is incorrect because there are no specific restrictions on 30 meters and 60 meters for someone with a CSCE for General class privileges. You can operate on all General class segments.

In summary, the CSCE allows you to operate on any General or Technician class band segment immediately, without waiting for the FCC to update your license in their database.
