Hello Mike, Yes, there will be an update on the RF Safety and Exposure Evaluation book. Oneissue that needs to be tackled first is a re-write of the OET-65B which will involvemembers of the Lab staff and the RF Safety Committee. There is also a plan foran ARRL source calculator, but first - there a some clarifications that need to bearrived at with discussions between the ARRL and the FCC which are still ongoing. 73, Kermit W9XA On Monday, April 26, 2021, 12:55:36 PM CDT, Michael Ritz <w7vo@comcast.net> wrote: I'm already getting requests to do Zoom presentations on the new/old RF Exposure rules. The more we can get out there, the better. That said, a special webpage (that we host and have control over) where members can input the variables and spit out a "COMPLY" or "NO COMPLY" report would be best. Another member benefit! I never received an answer as to whether or not the ARRL is considering an update and re-publish on the RF Exposure book. I have the old one on order from e-Bay and it will be here this week. 73; Mike W7VO On 04/26/2021 9:04 AM Dale Williams <dale.wms1@frontier.com> wrote: In service to our members, we posted a FAQ cover note and link on the Great Lakes Div web page on Sunday. 73, Dale WA8EFK On 4/26/2021 11:36 AM, John Robert Stratton wrote: All Kermit, good work. This FAQ needs to be provided to all Members. A special ARRL newsletter should be prepared and sent to the Membership that addresses this issue; it should either include this FAQ in its entirety and/or contain a link to an URL where the PDF can be read and downloaded. All the Directors need a version of this FAQ as a PDF (preferably, fancied up) that can be provided to our SMs and Club Coordinators for distribution to the Section websites and for dissemination to Clubs for inclusion in their newsletters and/or on their websites. This topic is hot amongst the Members and the lack of understanding and the rumors (mostly wrong) need to be addressed sooner rather than later. _______________________________________ John Robert Stratton N5AUS Director West Gulf Division Office: 512-445-6262 Cell: 512-426-2028 P.O.

As ARRL members, we are indeed very fortunate to have such a great assemblage of truly gifted authorities in the field of RF Engineering. Please be aware that updates might be very common as details come into better focus as the discussions between the FCC and the ARRL develop clarifications and recommendations. Thanks again to Ed Hare, W1RFI, for the authorship of this FAQ. 73, Kermit Carlson W9XA ARRL EMC Committee Chair _______________________________________________ arrl-odv mailing list arrl-odv@reflector.arrl.org https://reflector.arrl.org/mailman/listinfo/arrl-odv _______________________________________________ arrl-odv mailing list arrl-odv@reflector.arrl.org https://reflector.arrl.org/mailman/listinfo/arrl-odv _______________________________________________ arrl-odv mailing list arrl-odv@reflector.arrl.org https://reflector.arrl.org/mailman/listinfo/arrl-odv _______________________________________________ arrl-odv mailing list arrl-odv@reflector.arrl.org https://reflector.arrl.org/mailman/listinfo/arrl-odv
