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.    week #130

This quiz should be out around Valentine's day, and yes, somehow, the quiz
topic is Valentine's day.  To my knowledge our dear Saint Valentine was not
a ham radio operator nor did he contribute to art of electronics (he was
reportedly executed in the year 269, so I think we can agree he would have
been a ham).  Legend has it he sent a card and somehow sparked this
mid-February tradition.  

T4A07 How is a computer's sound card used when conducting digital
communications?

A. The sound card communicates between the computer CPU and the video
display

B. The sound card records the audio frequency for video display

C. The sound card provides audio to the radio's microphone input and
converts received audio to digital form

D. All of these choices are correct

G2C09 What does the Q signal "QSL" mean?

A. Send slower

B. We have already confirmed by card

C. I acknowledge receipt

direction finding?

B. A very sharp single null

C. Broadband response
