General License Course Chapter 3 Lesson Plan Module 9 – Technical Rules and Standards

Good Amateur Practices • The general requirement by the FCC, in the absence of a specific rule, is that Amateur stations be operated in conformance with good engineering and good amateur practices • The FCC determines what is or isn’t good engineering or amateur practices 2015 General License Course 2

Transmitters & Power • General, Advanced and Amateur Extra operators are limited to a maximum transmitter output of 1500 W PEP • Amateurs are restricted to 200 W PEP on the 30 meter band • Amateurs are restricted to 100 W PEP on 60 meters with a maximum bandwidth of 2. 8 k. Hz • Amateurs are required to use the minimum power necessary to carry out the desired communication 2015 General License Course 3

Transmitters & Power • QRP – low-power. 10 W output power or less; 5 W is common. • Some hams use even less power • Popular for portable operating • General, Advanced, and Amateur Extra licensees are no longer restricted to 200 W in the former Novice segments on 80, 40 and 15 meters. 2015 General License Course 4
