4. License Exam Questions of the week

One question is drawn from each of the three question pools. Steve, AE8AT,
is providing these questions.  Thanks Steve

 

Answers are at the end of this email.

 

We received a question regarding the strange mix of letters and numbers that
begin each question.  Every exam question has a unique combination of
letter-number-letter-number.  The first letter is a T, G, or E to identify
the question pool: Technician, General, or Extra.  Next is a single number
representing the category, for example, category zero is safety in all three
exam pools.  The first letter-number pair is called the "sub-element".   The
second letter is a "group" containing related questions.  Example,
sub-element G8 is Signals and Emissions, with group C of that sub-element
being Digital Emission Modes.  The questions are numbered sequentially:
G8C01, G8C02, and so forth always with a 2-digit number at the end.  The
question identity is included in case of a typo or some "help" from
autocorrect obscures either the question or the answer.  

 

The quiz this week has a unique theme inspired by trying to learn Morse
Code.  Once character recognition is good, learning to recognize common
collections of letters is the next step.  This week's quiz is brought to you
by the three-letter combination "ati"!  Each question will have at least one
word with those three letters (in order) in the question.  Words with "ati"
not coming to mind?  Modulation, communication, schematic, calculation,
deviation, attenuation, and multiplication are a few!  Look for others in
the questions!
