An amateur radio station may be used to communicate with:

A.
any station transmitting in amateur radio bands
B.
Armed Forces stations during contests and exercises
C.
any stations which are identified for special contests
Correct Answer
D.
stations operated under similar authorizations

B-001-006-002

This is a catch. "Any station transmitting in the amateur radio bands" seems reasonable until you think that this other station may be operating unlawfully without a certificate. "Stations operated under similar authorizations" is a much better answer. Amateur radio operators are not allowed to knowingly conduct conversations with unauthorized stations ("bootleggers").
