How long are radio station logs involving communications during a disaster required to be kept by the station licensee?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option A — 3 years from date of entry

FCC regulations require that radio station logs containing entries regarding distress, urgency, or safety communications, including those during a disaster, must be retained for a period of three years from the date of entry. This ensures a permanent record is available for subsequent investigations or regulatory review.
