D
Answer
FCC rules, station licensing, and operator duties
Type
A
From within any country that belongs to the International Telecommunication Union
B
From within any country that is a member of the United Nations
C
From anywhere within International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Regions 2 and 3
D
From any vessel or craft located in international waters and documented or registered in the United States
Answer Notes
An FCC-issued amateur radio license grants you operating privileges within the United States, its territories, and its possessions. Furthermore, FCC jurisdiction legally extends to any vessel or craft that is documented or registered in the US, provided it is located in international waters.
However, your FCC license does not grant you blanket authority to transmit from within foreign sovereign nations. Just because a country belongs to the UN or ITU does not automatically authorize you to operate there. To transmit from another country, you would need a reciprocal operating agreement or a local license issued by that specific host country's telecommunications authority.
