Answer Notes

To prevent amateur radio frequencies from being routinely used for ongoing government or agency communications, the FCC places strict limits on RACES training operations. Under Part 97 rules, routine RACES drills and tests can only be conducted for a maximum of 1 hour per week without seeking special authorization. Any drill exceeding this duration requires prior approval.
