Which amateur band is shared with the Citizens Radio Service?

10 meters
12 meters
15 meters
None

The correct answer is: None

The Citizens Radio Service, primarily consisting of CB (Citizens Band) radio, does not share any designated amateur radio band. In the context of amateur radio allocations, bands are specifically defined and exclusive to licensed operators, while CB radio operates on a different set of frequencies that are open to the general public without a license. The amateur bands mentioned—10 meters, 12 meters, and 15 meters—are all designated for use by licensed amateur radio operators and are not shared with other services like the Citizens Radio Service. Therefore, stating that none of the amateur bands are shared with the Citizens Radio Service is accurate, making the provided answer correct. This distinction is important for both operational and regulatory reasons, as it ensures that amateur radio operators and CB users adhere to their respective guidelines and limitations, helping to avoid interference and maintain effective communication within each service.
