*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)  

The correct answer to this question is:

**C: On any General or Technician class band segment.**

### Explanation of the Correct Answer:
- If you are a Technician class operator and you hold an unexpired Certificate of Successful Completion of Examination (CSCE) for General class privileges, you are allowed to operate on any band segment allocated to General class operators. This is because the CSCE grants you the privileges of the General class until your upgrade is officially processed by the FCC.

### Why the Other Choices are Incorrect:
- **A: Only the Technician band segments until your upgrade is posted in the FCC database.**
  - This is incorrect because the CSCE allows you to operate on General class frequencies immediately, regardless of whether the FCC has updated their database.

- **B: Only on the Technician band segments until you have a receipt for the FCC application fee payment.**
  - This is also incorrect. The CSCE provides operating privileges as soon as you pass the exam, independent of any payment receipt.

- **D: On any General or Technician class band segment except 30 meters and 60 meters.**
  - This choice is misleading. While it is true that Technician operators have restrictions on certain bands, the CSCE for General class privileges allows you to operate on all General class segments, including 30 meters and 60 meters, as long as you have the CSCE.

### Summary:
- Holding a CSCE for General class privileges allows you to operate on all General and Technician band segments immediately.
- The key takeaway is that the CSCE is a valid document that grants you the rights of the higher class until the FCC processes your upgrade.
