remote control?



    (a) You may not operate an R/C transmitter by radio remote control. 

(See R/C Rule 12, Sec.  95.212.)

    (b) You may operate an R/C transmitter by wireline remote control if 

you obtain specific approval in writing from the FCC. To obtain FCC 

approval, you must show why you need to operate your station by wireline 

remote control. If you receive FCC approval, you must keep the approval 

as part of your station records. See R/C Rule 24, Sec.  95.224.

place other than the location of the R/C transmitter. Direct mechanical 

control or direct electrical control by wire from some point on the same 

premises, craft or vehicles as the R/C transmitter is not considered 

remote control.
