Sec. 97.109  Station control.

    (a) Each amateur station must have at least one control point.
    (b) When a station is being locally controlled, the control operator 
must be at the control point. Any station may be locally controlled.
    (c) When a station is being remotely controlled, the control 
operator must be at the control point. Any station may be remotely 
controlled.
    (d) When a station is being automatically controlled, the control 
operator need not be at the control point. Only stations specifically 
designated elsewhere in this part may be automatically controlled. 
Automatic control must cease upon notification by an EIC that the 
station is transmitting improperly or causing harmful interference to 
other stations. Automatic control must not be resumed without prior 
approval of the EIC.

station that is being locally or remotely controlled.
