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.

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

I attended the N9GL presentation as well. 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.

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.

Mike, I like the simplified interactive webpage “calculator” idea. That could be a concept worth NA2AA and staff’s time to investigate. Good work Kermit! 73 David A. Norris, K5UZ Director, Delta Division Sent from my iPhone

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.

A third party calculator page is linked from this ARRL page. I’ve been referring people to that link. http://www.arrl.org/rf-exposure http://hintlink.com/power_density.htm It’s hard to find, though, and doesn’t give a go/no-go result. An ARRL version of this should be prominently displayed right at the top. I received complaints that the recent ARRL Letter article didn’t point directly to a calculator. Sent from my iPad

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.

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.

Hello Kristen, In case you didnt catch the error on the page currently (as of 3:39PM today)linked to for a calculator on the ARRL.ORG site - the first line asks for power in ERP ( as opposed to PEP) and then asks for antenna gain.... and it has beenlike that for years. The new FAQ links to http://www.lakewashingtonhamclub.org/resources/rf-exposure-calculator/which is better, but it contains no mention of whether ground gain is required. Even though there is a radio button for ground gain. , Even for verticals ground gain is needed since it gives the worse case scenario for exposure. This is where a lot of people also get mis-led since the calculation, from OET65B gives the worse case and not a technically correct value. This worse case takes into account local reflectors that would increase the field from verticals; while there is no "ground gain" from a vertical it does in this manner account for random nearby reflecting conductors that would increase the field. (The details of this can be found in equations (4) through (8) in the OET65B publication). If you "pass" that calculation then no further evaluation is needed. If you do not "pass" then a more careful analysis for the evaluation is required; such as EZNEC modeling, etc. Explaining that the ground gain is important for the correct use of the calculator for determination of whether an more indepth evaluation is required. Detail such as these should be explained somewhere but those explanations are lacking on the calculator-site that is linked in the FAQ. The equation for the calculator is simple, and I agree that we should have an onlinecalculator the quality of which we control since without a lot of critical explanation, since without explanation, the the calculated results are at odds with what a trained engineer will expect. I also strongly agree that better and more in depth explanations are needed such as articles in QST, webpage resource papers, and online calculators. 73, Kermit Carlson W9XA ARRL Central Division Director ARRL EMC Committee Chairman On Monday, April 26, 2021, 1:55:45 PM CDT, Kristen A.

Thanks Kermit! Actually, I didn’t notice that. My brain just substituted average power for ERP, but you are, of course, correct. I like the page you linked better than the original because of the simplicity. Something should be done with simplifying the duty cycle by mode with check boxes. For example, take the max estimated duty cycle of all the modes selected. And, as you say, the results should be more than numbers. We should offer an explanation and interpretation, with appropriate caveats.

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.

Hello John - I agree that this needs dissemination, Ed Hare will be posting thisto the RF-Safety webpage on ARRL.ORG. I would have liked to send thisvia the "Email your Division" but alas - this is a PDF file, and the documenthas jpg files of tables and graphs..... the "Email your Division" email systemonly does ASCII ( and it is rumored to be at less than 300 baud). There has been a delay getting this posted to the Central Divisionwebsite, when it is posted either there or on the ARRL.ORG site, I will postthe link to the Central Division membership. In the meantime, I did send itto the Assistant Directors of the Division for distribution to their local clubs.ALSO - we should remind people that this FAQ will change and to look forupdates... 73, Kermit Carlson W9XA ARRL Central Division Director ARRL EMC Committee Chairman On Monday, April 26, 2021, 10:36:24 AM CDT, John Robert Stratton <n5aus@n5aus.com> wrote: All Kermit, good work.

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 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
