G2D: Amateur auxiliary; minimizing Interference; HF operations
G2D01:
What is the Amateur Auxiliary to the FCC?
Amateur volunteers who are formally enlisted to monitor the airwaves for rules violations
Amateur volunteers who conduct amateur licensing examinations
Amateur volunteers who conduct frequency coordination for amateur VHF repeaters
Amateur volunteers who use their station equipment to help civil defense organizations in times of emergency
G2D02:
What are the objectives of the Amateur Auxiliary?
To encourage amateur self-regulation and compliance with the rules
To conduct efficient and orderly amateur licensing examinations
To coordinate repeaters for efficient and orderly spectrum usage
To provide emergency and public safety communications
G2D03:
What skills learned during "Fox Hunts" are of help to the Amateur Auxiliary?
Direction-finding skills used to locate stations violating FCC Rules
Identification of out of band operation
Identification of different call signs
Hunters have an opportunity to transmit on non-amateur frequencies
G2D04:
What is an azimuthal projection map?
A world map projection centered on a particular location
A world map projection centered on the North Pole
A world map that shows the angle at which an amateur satellite crosses the equator
A world map that shows the number of degrees longitude that an amateur satellite appears to move westward at the equator with each orbit
G2D05:
What is the most useful type of map to use when orienting a directional HF antenna toward a distant station?
Azimuthal projection
Mercator projection
Polar projection
Stereographic projection
G2D06:
How is a directional antenna pointed when making a "long-path" contact with another station?
180 degrees from its short-path heading
Toward the rising sun
Along the Gray Line
Toward the North
G2D08:
Why do many amateurs keep a log even though the FCC doesn't require it?
To help with a reply if the FCC requests information on who was control operator of your station at a given date and time
The ITU requires a log of all international contacts
The ITU requires a log of all international third party traffic
The log provides evidence of operation needed to renew a license without retest
G2D09:
What information is traditionally contained in a station log?
All of these choices are correct
Date and time of contact
Band and/or frequency of the contact
Call sign of station contacted and the signal report given
G2D10:
What is QRP operation?
Low power transmit operation, typically about 5 watts
Remote Piloted Model control
Transmission using Quick Response Protocol
Traffic Relay Procedure net operation
G2D11:
Which HF antenna would be the best to use for minimizing interference?
A unidirectional antenna
A bi-directional antenna
An isotropic antenna
An omnidirectional antenna
G2D12:
Which of the following is required by the FCC rules when operating in the 60 meter band?
If you are using other than a dipole antenna, you must keep a record of the gain of your antenna
You must keep a log of the date, time, frequency, power level and stations worked
You must keep a log of all third party traffic
You must keep a log of the manufacturer of your equipment and the antenna used
