CG-2861(A) is used to report which issue?

• A. Violation of the Radio Regulations
• B. Radio Interference
• C. Safety Incident
• D. Training Deficiency

Answer: (A)

Form CG-2861(A) is used to report violations of the Radio Regulations. These rules, set by national authorities in line with ITU guidelines, govern how radiocommunication equipment is used—covering things like frequency allocations, licensing, station identification, power limits, and proper distress procedures. When someone operates outside these rules—such as using an unlicensed frequency, transmitting without authorization, or interfering with others' communications—a regulatory violation has occurred. The form captures the incident details so authorities can investigate and take appropriate action. This is different from reporting radio interference, safety incidents, or training deficiencies, which use other processes.
