G2B: Operating courtesy; band plans
G2B01:
What action should be taken if the frequency on which a net normally meets is in use just before the net begins?
Ask the stations if the net may use the frequency, or move the net to a nearby clear frequency if necessary
Reduce your output power and start the net as usual
Increase your power output so that net participants will be able to hear you
Cancel the net for that day
G2B02:
What should be done if a net is about to begin on a frequency you and another station are using?
Move to a different frequency as a courtesy to the net
Tell the net that they must to move to another frequency
Reduce power to avoid interfering with the net
Pause between transmissions to give the net a chance to change frequency
G2B03:
What should you do if you notice increasing interference from other activity on a frequency you are using?
Move your contact to another frequency
Tell the interfering stations to change frequency since you were there first
Report the interference to your local Amateur Auxiliary Coordinator
Turn on your amplifier
G2B04:
What minimum frequency separation between CW signals should be allowed to minimize interference?
150 to 500 Hz
5 to 50 Hz
1 to 3 kHz
3 to 6 kHz
G2B05:
What minimum frequency separation between SSB signals should be allowed to minimize interference?
Approximately 3 kHz
Between 150 and 500 Hz
Approximately 6 kHz
Approximately 10 kHz
G2B06:
What minimum frequency separation between 170 Hz shift RTTY signals should be allowed to minimize interference?
250 to 500 Hz
60 Hz
Approximately 3 kHz
170 Hz
G2B07:
What is a band plan?
A voluntary guideline for band use beyond the divisions established by the FCC
A guideline from the FCC for making amateur frequency band allocations
A guideline from the ITU for making amateur frequency band allocations
A plan devised by a club to best use a frequency band during a contest
G2B08:
What is the "DX window" in a voluntary band plan?
A portion of the band that should not be used for contacts between stations within the 48 contiguous United States
An FCC rule that prohibits contacts between stations within the United States and possessions on that band segment
An FCC rule that allows only digital contacts in that portion of the band
A portion of the band that has been set aside for digital contacts only
G2B09:
What should you do to comply with good amateur practice when choosing a frequency for Slow-Scan TV (SSTV) operation?
Follow generally accepted band plans for SSTV operation
Transmit only on lower sideband
Transmit your callsign as an SSTV image for 1 minute to ensure a clear frequency
Select a frequency in the portion of the band set aside for digital operation
G2B10:
What should you do to comply with good amateur practice when choosing a frequency for radio-teletype (RTTY) operation?
Follow generally accepted band plans for RTTY operation
Call CQ in Morse code before attempting to establish a contact in RTTY
Select a frequency in the upper end of the phone band
Select a frequency in the lower end of the phone band
G2B11:
What should you do to comply with good amateur practice when choosing a frequency for HF PSK operation?
Follow generally accepted band plans for PSK operation
Call CQ in Morse code before attempting to establish a contact in PSK
Select a frequency in the upper end of the phone band
Select a frequency in the lower end of the phone band
G2B12:
What is a practical way to avoid harmful interference when selecting a frequency to call CQ using phone?
Ask if the frequency is in use, say your callsign, and listen for a response
Keep your CQ to less than 2 minutes in length to avoid interference to contacts that may be in progress
Listen for 2 minutes before calling CQ to avoid interference to contacts that may be in progress
Call CQ at low power first and if there is no indication of interference, increase power as necessary
G2B13:
What is a practical way to avoid harmful interference when calling CQ using Morse code or CW?
Send "QRL? de" followed by your callsign and listen for a response
Send the letter "V" 12 times and then listen for a response
Keep your CQ to less than 2 minutes in length to avoid interference with contacts already in progress
Call CQ at low power first; if there is no indication of interference then increase power as necessary
