Who may select a vanity call sign for a club station?

Only the person named as trustee on the club station license grant
Any licensed amateur operator in the club
The club members as a group
The club president

The correct answer is: Only the person named as trustee on the club station license grant

The correct answer reflects the regulations established by the FCC that govern amateur radio licensing. The trustee of a club station's license is the individual responsible for ensuring that the club station operates in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. This includes matters related to call signs. The trustee is the designated licensee and has the authority to select a vanity call sign for the club station, a privilege that entails the necessity to adhere to the terms of the license. The other choices, while they may represent inputs or opinions from club members, do not hold the legal standing to make the final decision regarding the vanity call sign selection. Only the trustee holds the responsibility to act on behalf of the club in such licensing matters. This structure ensures a clear line of accountability and responsibility in operation, which is crucial for maintaining proper licensing and compliance with amateur radio rules.
