What ham frequency can I use?
For ham radio operators, you’ll use the frequency range from 420 – 450MHz. Unlike the reliability of VHF radio waves, UHF has a much shorter wavelength and is prone to interference from basically any solid object, whether that’s a building blocking your signal or even your body.
What are the FCC rules regarding the use of a phonetic alphabet for station identification in the amateur radio Service?
What are the FCC rules regarding the use of a phonetic alphabet for station identification in the Amateur Radio Service? Using a phonetic alphabet (also called a “spelling alphabet”) such as the NATO Phonetic Alphabet is encouraged by the FCC rules but not absolutely required.
What HF frequency can a technician use?
As a Technician licensee, you have full access to all amateur frequencies above 50 MHz, but what about on the shortwave high-frequency (HF) bands?…Technician Class Frequency Privileges in Ham Radio.
| Band | Frequencies (In MHz) | Modes You Can Use (200 watts PEP maximum power) |
|---|---|---|
| 10 meters | 28.300 – 28.500 | CW and phone |

Can a ham technician use HF?

Is it better to use the 5 GHz band?
The 5-GHz band is much less crowded, resulting in less interference and higher data throughput speeds. If all your devices support it, you can force your router to use only the 5-GHz band.
Do you need a license for a 5.8 GHz transmitter?
5.8 GHz NTSC video transmitters are popular for FPV (first person view) model aircraft flying. However, because the 5.8 GHz band (5725 to 5875 MHz) is also available for ISM (unlicensed) use, it’s not clear to me at what point I need a license to operate a transmitter of some given power.
What’s the power limit for 5.8 GHz ( 5 cm )?
According to this site, the maximum allowed for non-licensed (“Part 15”) equipment is 1W to the antenna, and the maximum EIRP is 4W. For point-to-point links, the limit is higher, and the site mentions that on 5.8GHz the maximum allowed would be 53dBm EIRP (30dBm transmitted plus 23dBi gain of the antenna), which is 200W EIRP.
How is the U-NII-3 band allocated?
The U-NII-3 band is allocated on a primary basis to the Radiolocation Service for Federal operation, and is allocated on a secondary basis to the Amateur Radio Service for non-Federal operation. Actually having a ham license makes it more difficult because we are secondary users of the band.
