I am meeting with Becky and Ed to review how we can do this. Quickly. Becky has confirmed that the printing resources required to reprint the RF Exposure book have been located and converted successfully. There are two sections that came from FCC text that will need to be recreated/updated. The FAQ and any other documents can be hosted or linked on our website. We will discuss doing a video or series of videos to address the topic for members and link from the page to them on YouTube.

What members need is a video of a presentation like his that ties into an online calculator so that members can plug in scenarios and get green/yellow/red results with the ability to print assumptions and results. If ARRL doesn't do it, someone else will!

I have a video I'll be publishing soon with the contents from the FAQ. 73 Ria N2RJ On Mon, Apr 26, 2021 at 1:55 PM Michael Ritz <w7vo@comcast.net<mailto: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<mailto: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.

Ed Hare and the ARRL Laboratory are the authors of this document with technical advice from Dr. Greg Lapin, N9GL, and the RF Safety Committee. My thanks to the Executive Committee for their contribution to the editorial process of this document. This PDF version 1.3 is suitable for distribution. Any questions or suggestion for future inclusion in the FAQ should be directed to the ARRL Laboratory by email at tis@arrl.org<mailto:tis@arrl.org>. One of the ARRL Laboratory engineers will respond to comments by email. The responsibility for updates to this living-breathing document will now pass the ARRL Laboratory staff under the direction of Ed Hare, W1RFI; and the the RF Safety Committee under the lead of Dr. Greg Lapin, N9GL. 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<mailto:arrl-odv@reflector.arrl.org> https://reflector.arrl.org/mailman/listinfo/arrl-odv _______________________________________________ arrl-odv mailing list arrl-odv@reflector.arrl.org<mailto:arrl-odv@reflector.arrl.org> https://reflector.arrl.org/mailman/listinfo/arrl-odv _______________________________________________ arrl-odv mailing list arrl-odv@reflector.arrl.org<mailto:arrl-odv@reflector.arrl.org> https://reflector.arrl.org/mailman/listinfo/arrl-odv _______________________________________________ arrl-odv mailing list arrl-odv@reflector.arrl.org<mailto:arrl-odv@reflector.arrl.org> https://reflector.arrl.org/mailman/listinfo/arrl-odv
