Default Being paid while you operate

From the AE Question pool:


E1B05 (C) [97.113(c)]
When may an amateur operator accept compensation for serving as the
control
operator of an amateur station used in a classroom?
A. *Only when the amateur operator does not accept pay during periods
of time
when the amateur station is used
B. *Only when the classroom is in a correctional institution
C. *Only when the amateur operator is paid as an incident of a
teaching position
during periods of time when the station is used by that teacher as a
part of
classroom instruction at an educational institution
D. *Only when the station is restricted to making contacts with
similar stations
at other educational institutions

Answer is "C"

The key part of that is in the question.

It asks about accepting "compensation for serving as the control
operator of an amateur station"

In other words, acting as the control operator has to be
part of the job itself, not an incidental activity.

If a ham gets a paid lunch or break period and operates
an amateur station during that time, s/he isn't being paid to
do so. It's not part of the job.

Being paid *while* operating is not the same as
being paid *for* operating.
