License Exam Quiz #364

de Steve, AE8AT 

With April Fool’s Day just ahead, let’s take a look at CQ procedures! But remember, when you hear “CQ DX” over the local repeater on April first, they might be a “ham”! The Extra pool did not have a CQ’ing question (one, that we used recently) so a question was substituted.

T2A08 What is the meaning of the procedural signal “CQ”?

A. Call on the quarter hour

B. Test transmission, no reply expected

C. Only the called station should transmit

D. Calling any station

G2A11 Generally, who should respond to a station in the contiguous 48 states calling “CQ DX”?

A. Any caller is welcome to respond

B. Only stations in Germany

D. Only contest stations

E1B01 Which of the following constitutes a spurious emission?

A. An amateur station transmission made without the proper call sign identification

B. A signal transmitted to prevent its detection by any station other than the intended recipient

C. Any transmitted signal that unintentionally interferes with another licensed radio station and whose levels exceed 40 dB below the fundamental power level

D. An emission outside the signal’s necessary bandwidth that can be reduced or eliminated without affecting the information transmitted

Answers:
