§  95.217   (R/C Rule 17) May I operate my R/C station transmitter by remote
control?

   (a) You may not operate an R/C transmitter by radio remote control.
   (See R/C Rule 12, §  95.212.)

   (b) You may operate an R/C transmitter by wireline remote control if
   you obtain specific approval in writing from the FCC. To obtain FCC
   approval, you must show why you need to operate your station by
   wireline remote control. If you receive FCC approval, you must keep the
   approval as part of your station records. See R/C Rule 24, §  95.224.

   (c) Remote control means operation of an R/C transmitter from any place
   other than the location of the R/C transmitter. Direct mechanical
   control or direct electrical control by wire from some point on the
   same premises, craft or vehicles as the R/C transmitter is not
   considered remote control.
