All Amateur Radio Frequencies

G1…Commission’s Rules (cont) G1A
Primary and secondary allocations NO amateur band is shared with the Citizens Radio Service. When operating on either the 30 or 60 meter bands, if a station in the primary service interferes with your contact, stop transmitting at once and/or move to a clear frequency. Amateur radio stations, as a secondary service in the 60-meter band, must not cause harmful interference to stations operating in other radio services. When the FCC rules designate the amateur service as a secondary user and another service as a primary user on a band, amateur stations are allowed to use the frequency band only if they do not cause harmful interference to primary users. (This is not new, you learned about primary/secondary in the Technician class.)

G1…Commission’s Rules G1B
Antenna structure limitations Two hundred (200) feet is the maximum height above ground to which an antenna structure may be erected without requiring notification to the FAA and registration with the FCC, provided it is not at or near a public-use airport. 200 feet max

Good engineering and good amateur practice The FCC requires an amateur station to be operated in conformance with good engineering and good amateur practice in all respects, whether covered or not covered by the Part 97 rules The FCC determines “good engineering and good amateur practice” that applies to operation of an amateur station in all respects not covered by the Part 97 rules. If an amateur station is causing interference to a broadcast receiver of good engineering design, the FCC may restrict the amateur station operation to times other than 8 pm to 10:30 pm local time every day, as well as on Sundays from 10:30 am to 1 pm local time.

Beacon operation There must be no more than one beacon signal in the same band from a single location. A purpose of a beacon station as identified in the FCC Rules is observation of propagation and reception, or other related activities. The power limit for a beacon station is 100 watts PEP output.

Beacons A beacon is a station that tranmits for the purpose of propagation observations.

G1…Commission’s Rules (cont) G1B
Retransmitting radio signals Music may be transmitted by an amateur station when it is an incidental part of a space shuttle or ISS retransmission. (Told you that some of the General materials are from the Technician class.) Restricted operation The use of abbreviations or procedural signals in the amateur service is somewhat restricted but they may be used if they do not obscure the meaning of a message. An amateur station is permitted to transmit secret codes to control a space station. (Bet you remember these from your Technician class too.) (sound familiar)

Restricted operation (cont) These are prohibited by the FCC Rules for amateur radio stations: Transmission of music as the primary program material during a contest. Transmission of false or deceptive messages or signals. The use of obscene or indecent words. All of these answers are correct. (More tech stuff, getting easier.)

Restricted operation (cont) An amateur station may transmit communications in which the licensee or control operator has a pecuniary (monetary) interest only when other amateurs are being notified of the sale of apparatus normally used in an amateur station and such activity is not done on a regular basis. In order for an amateur station to provide news information to the media during a disaster, the information must directly relate to the immediate safety of human life or protection of property and there is NO other means of communication available. (Still more tech stuff, getting much easier.)

G1…Commission’s Rules G1C
Transmitter power regulations The maximum power an amateur station may use on MHz is 200 watts PEP output. MHz

Transmitter power regulations (cont) The maximum transmitting power an amateur station may use on the 12 meter band is 1500 watts PEP output. 32

Transmitter power regulations (cont) The maximum transmitting power a General class licensee may use when operating between 7025 and 7125 kHz is 1500 watts PEP output. 7025 kHz 33 7125 kHz

Transmitter power regulations (cont) Other than 1500 watts PEP limit on transmitter power in the 14 MHz band, only the minimum power necessary to carry out the desired communications is the restriction. 34 (Minimum power necessary is not new information)

Transmitter power regulations (cont) The maximum transmitting power a station with a General Class control operator may use on the 28 MHz band is 1500 watts PEP output.

Transmitter power regulations (cont) The maximum transmitting power an amateur station may use on 1825 kHz is 1500 watts PEP output. 36 1825 kHz

Transmitter power regulations (cont) Transmissions must not exceed an effective radiated power of 50 watts PEP referred to a dipole antenna when a station is transmitting on the 60 meter band. 37

Transmitter power regulations (recap) MHz … 200 watts PEP output 12 meter band … 1500 watts PEP output 7025 – 7125 kHz … 1500 watts PEP output. 28 MHz band … 1500 watts PEP output 1825 kHz … 1500 watts PEP output 60 meter band … effective ERP of 50 watts PEP referred to a dipole antenna

Editorial comment: Transmitter power regulations (cont)
The rule to use the minimum power necessary to carry out the desired communications should be considered sacred. The smart person does not shout at a friend in order to communicate face-to-face and the same should always be true when you set your power level and microphone gain controls. If one watt will do, you do NOT need that 1500-watt amplifier. Switch if off ! ! !

G1…Commission’s Rules (cont) G1C
HF data emission standards The maximum symbol rate permitted for RTTY emissions transmitted on frequency bands below 28 MHz is 300 baud. The maximum symbol rate permitted for RTTY or data emission transmissions on the 10-meter band is 1200 baud.

The maximum bandwidth permitted by FCC rules for amateur radio stations when operating on USB frequencies in the 60-meter band is 2.8 kHz.

HF data emission standards (cont) Maximum symbol rate/bandwidth (recap) RTTY … below 28 MHz is 300 baud. RTTY or data … 10-meter band is 1200 baud. (which is above 28 MHz … see line above) RTTY or data … 6 & 2 meter bands is 19.6 kilobaud. Packet … 2-meter band is 19.6 kilobaud. Bandwidth for RTTY, data or multiplexed 6 and 2-meter bands is 20 kHz. Bandwidth … USB (upper side band) 60-meter band is 2.8 kHz

G1…Commission’s Rules G1D
Volunteer Examiners and Volunteer Examiner Coordinators The license examination that you may administer when you are an accredited VE holding a General Class operator license is the Technician, Element 2 At Least three VEC-accredited General Class or higher VEs must be present when administering a Technician Class operator examination. A FCC General Class or higher license and VEC accreditation is sufficient for you to be an administering VE for a Technician Class operator license examination. (Familiar from Tech class?)

Volunteer Examiners and Volunteer Examiner Coordinators (cont) The administering VEs are responsible at a Volunteer Exam Session for determining the correctness of the answers on the exam. The minimum age that one must be to qualify as an accredited Volunteer Examiner is 18 years old. A CSCE document must be issued to a person that passes an exam element. A Certificate of Successful Completion of Examination (CSCE) is valid for exam element credit for 365 days.

CSCE ….. (W5YI)

CSCE ….. (ARRL)

G1…Commission’s Rules (cont) G1D
VE’s VEC’s (cont) For a non-U.S. citizen to be an accredited Volunteer Examiner the person must hold a U.S. amateur radio license of General class or above. Volunteer Examiners are accredited by a Volunteer Examiner Coordinator. You may participate as a VE in administering an amateur radio license examination after you have been granted a General class license and have received your VEC accreditation. Allowed License Exams by VE License Class VE License Class Allowed Examinations General Element 2 (Technician) Advanced Element 3 (General) Element 2 (Technician) Amateur Extra Element 4 (Amateur Extra) Element 3 (General)

Temporary Identification You may operate on any General Class band segment if you are a Technician Class operator and have a CSCE for General Class privileges. You must add the special identifier "AG" after your call sign if you are a Technician Class licensee and have a CSCE for General Class operator privileges whenever you operate using General class frequency privileges. The proper way to identify when transmitting on General class frequencies if you have a CSCE for the required elements but your upgrade from Technician has not appeared in the ULS database is by giving your call sign followed by the words "temporary AG". (All info you’re familiar with from Technician class)

G1…Commission’s Rules G1E
Control categories Repeater regulations A 10-meter repeater may retransmit the 2-meter signal from a station having a Technician Class control operator only if the 10-meter control operator holds at least a General class license. A Repeater Station is an amateur station that simultaneously retransmits the signals of other stations on another channel. The licensee of the non-coordinated repeater has primary responsibility to resolve the interference in the event of interference between a coordinated repeater and an uncoordinated repeater. (Still more info from the Technician class)

Harmful interference Each of the following conditions require an amateur radio station to take specific steps to avoid harmful interference to other users or facilities: When operating within one mile of an FCC Monitoring Station When using a band where the amateur service is secondary When a station is transmitting spread spectrum emissions [All of these answers are correct]

Third party rules If the third party were a person previously licensed in the amateur service whose license had been revoked, it would disqualify the third party from participating in stating a message over an amateur station. Only messages relating to amateur radio or remarks of a personal character, or messages relating to emergencies or disaster relief for a third party in another country may be transmitted by an amateur station. Except for messages directly involving emergencies or disaster relief communications, third-party traffic is prohibited with any country other than the United States unless there is a third-party agreement in effect with that country. (Any of these from the Technician class?)

Third party rules (cont) For a non-licensed person to communicate with a foreign amateur radio station from a US amateur station at which a licensed control operator is present, the foreign amateur station must be in a country with which the United States has a third party agreement. An example of permissible third party communication during routine amateur radio operations is sending a message to a third party through a foreign station, as long as that person is a licensed amateur radio operator. English is the language you must use when identifying your station if you are using a language other than English in making a contact. (these too are review from Technician class license)
