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 #135

This quiz will focus on space weather.  It remains a mystery to many since, unlike earth weather, we do not directly experience the effect of space weather.  If it’s raining and you go outside, you get wet.  If there’s a geomagnetic storm, you need to observe the effect on equipment or radio propagation.  (The Technician pool lacks questions on space weather.)

T3A11 Which part of the atmosphere enables the propagation of radio signals around the world?

A. The stratosphere

B. The troposphere

C. The ionosphere

D. The magnetosphere

G3A12 What does the K-index indicate?

A. The relative position of sunspots on the surface of the sun

B. The short-term stability of Earth’s magnetic field

C. The stability of the sun’s magnetic field

D. The solar radio flux at Boulder, Colorado

E3C04 What does the value of Bz (B sub Z) represent?

A. Geomagnetic field stability

B. Critical frequency for vertical transmissions

C. Direction and strength of the interplanetary magnetic field

D. Duration of long-delayed echoes
