E1A: Operating Standards: frequency privileges for Extra Class amateurs; emission standards; automatic message forwarding; frequency sharing; FCC license actions; stations aboard ships or aircraft

E1A01: When using a transceiver that displays the carrier frequency of phone signals, which of the following displayed frequencies will result in a normal USB emission being within the band?

3 kHz below the upper band edge

The exact upper band edge

300 Hz below the upper band edge

1 kHz below the upper band edge



E1A02: When using a transceiver that displays the carrier frequency of phone signals, which of the following displayed frequencies will result in a normal LSB emission being within the band?

3 kHz above the lower band edge

The exact lower band edge

300 Hz above the lower band edge

1 kHz above the lower band edge



E1A03: With your transceiver displaying the carrier frequency of phone signals, you hear a DX station's CQ on 14.349 MHz USB. Is it legal to return the call using upper sideband on the same frequency?

No, my sidebands will extend beyond the band edge

Yes, because the DX station initiated the contact

Yes, because the displayed frequency is within the 20 meter band

No, USA stations are not permitted to use phone emissions above 14.340 MHz



E1A04: With your transceiver displaying the carrier frequency of phone signals, you hear a DX station's CQ on 3.601 MHz LSB. Is it legal to return the call using lower sideband on the same frequency?

No, my sidebands will extend beyond the edge of the phone band segment

Yes, because the DX station initiated the contact

Yes, because the displayed frequency is within the 75 meter phone band segment

No, USA stations are not permitted to use phone emissions below 3.610 MHz

E1A06: What is the maximum power output permitted on the 60 meter band?

50 watts PEP effective radiated power relative to a dipole

50 watts PEP effective radiated power relative to an isotropic radiator

100 watts PEP effective radiated power relative to an isotropic radiator

100 watts PEP effective radiated power relative to a dipole



E1A07: What is the only amateur band where transmission on specific channels rather than a range of frequencies is permitted?

60 meter band

12 meter band

17 meter band

30 meter band



E1A08: What is the only emission type permitted to be transmitted on the 60 meter band by an amateur station?

Single sideband, upper sideband only

CW

RTTY Frequency shift keying

Single sideband, lower sideband only



E1A09: Which frequency bands contain at least one segment authorized only to control operators holding an Amateur Extra Class operator license?

80/75, 40, 20 and 15 meters

80/75, 40, 20, and 10 meters

80/75, 40, 30 and 10 meters

160, 80/75, 40 and 20 meters



E1A10: If a station in a message forwarding system inadvertently forwards a message that is in violation of FCC rules, who is primarily accountable for the rules violation?

The control operator of the originating station

The control operator of the packet bulletin board station

The control operators of all the stations in the system

The control operators of all the stations in the system not authenticating the source from which they accept communications



E1A11: What is the first action you should take if your digital message forwarding station inadvertently forwards a communication that violates FCC rules?

Discontinue forwarding the communication as soon as you become aware of it

Notify the originating station that the communication does not comply with FCC rules

Notify the nearest FCC Field Engineer’s office

Discontinue forwarding all messages



E1A12: If an amateur station is installed on board a ship or aircraft, what condition must be met before the station is operated?

Its operation must be approved by the master of the ship or the pilot in command of the aircraft

The amateur station operator must agree to not transmit when the main ship or aircraft radios are in use

It must have a power supply that is completely independent of the main ship or aircraft power supply

Its operator must have an FCC Marine or Aircraft endorsement on his or her amateur license



E1A13: When a US-registered vessel is in international waters, what type of FCC-issued license or permit is required to transmit amateur communications from an on-board amateur transmitter?

Any amateur license or reciprocal permit for alien amateur licensee

Any amateur license with an FCC Marine or Aircraft endorsement
