be retained at the station. This requirement is necessary so field 
personnel can quickly determine whether the station is licensed and is 
being operated in conformance with the terms of the station license.

requires that an amateur radio operator keep an original or photocopy 
of his or her amateur operator license in their personal possession 
when serving as the control operator of an amateur station. This 
requirement is necessary so field personnel can quickly determine 
whether an operator is licensed in conformance with the Communications 
Act of 1934, as amended as well as the International Telecommunications 
Union Radio Regulations. This record should be retained for 10 years in 
order to coincide with the license term.
