T0C01:

What type of radiation are VHF and UHF radio signals?

1. Gamma radiation
2. Ionizing radiation
3. Alpha radiation
4. Non-ionizing radiation

T0C02:

Which of the following frequencies has the lowest value for Maximum Permissible Exposure limit?

1. 3.5 MHz
2. 50 MHz
3. 440 MHz
4. 1296 MHz

T0C03:

What is the maximum power level that an amateur radio station may use at VHF frequencies before an RF exposure evaluation is required?

1. 1500 watts PEP transmitter output
2. 1 watt forward power
3. 50 watts PEP at the antenna
4. 50 watts PEP reflected power

T0C04:

What factors affect the RF exposure of people near an amateur station antenna?

1. Frequency and power level of the RF field
2. Distance from the antenna to a person
3. Radiation pattern of the antenna
4. All of these choices are correct

T0C05:

Why do exposure limits vary with frequency?

1. Lower frequency RF fields have more energy than higher frequency fields
2. Lower frequency RF fields do not penetrate the human body
3. Higher frequency RF fields are transient in nature
4. The human body absorbs more RF energy at some frequencies than at others

T0C06:

Which of the following is an acceptable method to determine that your station complies with FCC RF exposure regulations?

1. By calculation based on FCC OET Bulletin 65
2. By calculation based on computer modeling
3. By measurement of field strength using calibrated equipment
4. All of these choices are correct

T0C07:

What could happen if a person accidentally touched your antenna while you were transmitting?

1. Touching the antenna could cause television interference
2. They might receive a painful RF burn
3. They might develop radiation poisoning
4. All of these choices are correct

T0C08:

Which of the following actions might amateur operators take to prevent exposure to RF radiation in excess of FCC-supplied limits?

1. Relocate antennas
2. Relocate the transmitter
3. Increase the duty cycle
4. All of these choices are correct

T0C09:

How can you make sure your station stays in compliance with RF safety regulations?

1. By informing the FCC of any changes made in your station
2. By re-evaluating the station whenever an item of equipment is changed
3. By making sure your antennas have low SWR
4. All of these choices are correct

T0C10:

Why is duty cycle one of the factors used to determine safe RF radiation exposure levels?

1. It affects the average exposure of people to radiation
2. It affects the peak exposure of people to radiation
3. It takes into account the antenna feed line loss
4. It takes into account the thermal effects of the final amplifier

T0C11:

What is the definition of duty cycle during the averaging time for RF exposure?

1. The difference between the lowest power output and the highest power output of a transmitter
2. The difference between the PEP and average power output of a transmitter
3. The percentage of time that a transmitter is transmitting
4. The percentage of time that a transmitter is not transmitting

T0C12:

How does RF radiation differ from ionizing radiation (radioactivity)?

1. RF radiation does not have sufficient energy to cause genetic damage
2. RF radiation can only be detected with an RF dosimeter
3. RF radiation is limited in range to a few feet
4. RF radiation is perfectly safe

T0C13:

If the averaging time for exposure is 6 minutes, how much power density is permitted if the signal is present for 3 minutes and absent for 3 minutes rather than being present for the entire 6 minutes?

1. 3 times as much
2. 1/2 as much
3. 2 times as much
4. There is no adjustment allowed for shorter exposure times
