2.      Explain at least eight regulations that govern radio operators holding a novice license.

3.      What instrument is used to measure electrical energy? electrical current? electrical potential? electric power?

4.      What are the proper abbreviations for: Greenwich Mean Time, megacycles, continuous wave, amplitude modulation, frequency modulation, kilocycles, Eastern Standard Time?

5.      State Ohm's Law and give algebraic formula.

6.      Explain: amplification, modulation, detection, attenuation.

7.      What is the relationship between a fundamental frequency and its second, third, or fourth harmonic.

8.      May any transmission be made without identification of the station?

9.      At what intervals should an amateur station transmit its call sign?

10. What is the purpose of: a filter choke? An audio frequency choke? A radio frequency choke?

11. Explain function of: modulator, amplifier, rectifier, and filter.

12. Explain parasitic oscillation. (feed back)

13. How is the power input to the tubes supplying energy to the antenna of an amateur transmitter determined?

14. Explain the term, solid state.

15. Why are a rectifier and filter required in the plate power supply system when operated from alternating current? What are the regulations in your area that govern C.B. operators?
