  1. SSB transmissions:
    1. occupy about twice the bandwidth of AM transmissions
    2. contain more information than AM transmissions
    3. occupy about half the bandwidth of AM transmissions
    4. are compatible with FM transmissions

  2. Harmonics are produced when:
    1. a resonant circuit is detuned
    2. negative feedback is applied to an amplifier
    3. a transistor is biased for class A operation
    4. a sine wave is distorted

  3. A low-pass filter is used in the antenna lead from a transmitter:
    1. to reduce key clicks developed in a CW transmitter
    2. to increase harmonic radiation
    3. to eliminate chirp in CW transmissions
    4. to reduce radiation of harmonics

  4. The following could power a solid-state 10 watt VHF transceiver:
    1. a 12 volt car battery
    2. 6 penlite cells in series
    3. a 12 volt, 500 mA plug-pack
    4. a 6 volt 10 Amp-hour Gel cell.

  5. The block marked 'Filter' in the diagram is to:
    1. filter RF radiation from the output of the power supply
    2. smooth the rectified waveform from the rectifier
    3. act as a 50 Hz tuned circuit
    4. restore voltage variations

  6. The accepted way to announce that you are listening to a VHF repeater is:
    1. "hello 6695, this is ZL2ZZZ listening"
    2. "calling 6695, 6695, 6695 from ZL2ZZZ"
    3. "6695 from ZL2ZZZ"
    4. "ZL2ZZZ listening on 6695"
