Another License Idea

It's to serve as an upgrade incentive. Not everyone aspires to run high power. So what you're -really- talking about are low-power and a high-power license classes? No. If you look at K0HB's license-structure idea, the main (in fact the *only* difference in operating privileges between his Class A and Class B licenses is the power allowed. Class A gets full 1500 W Class B gets 50 W Hans' idea is that by limiting Class B to 50 W, the RF exposure questions can be eliminated, or at least greatly reduced. But the fact is that 50 W can still be an RF exposure hazard on some frequencies (UHF in particular) if a high gain antenna is used. Deciding that the power level of 50 W is acceptable for Class B, but 100 W is not, is just a matter of judgement. It's the same kind of judgement as saying that 3500-3525 kHz is not allowed for all license classes. |
