Where must the station license be kept?

The station license must be kept posted in a conspicuous location at the control point of the station. This requirement ensures that the license is readily accessible for inspection by authorities and is visible to all operators working at the station. Displaying the license in this manner promotes regulatory compliance and operational transparency, indicating that the station is properly licensed to operate on its specified frequencies.

Having the license stored in a folder in the main office or in a safe deposit box would not fulfill the objective of easy access and visibility. It is crucial for all staff involved in the operation to be aware of the station’s licensing status, which is why the control point—an area where daily operations take place—is the most appropriate location. Keeping it with the station manager could result in delays if immediate access is needed, which further emphasizes why it must be prominently displayed at the control point.
