  • operators can choose to operate anywhere on a shared band
  • a bandswitch is required on all transceivers
  • Correct Answer
    on a shared band operators can change frequency to avoid interfering

When the Amateur Service is a secondary user of a band and another service is the primary user, this means

  • nothing at all, all users have equal rights to operate
  • amateurs may only use the band during emergencies
  • Correct Answer
    the band may be used by amateurs provided they do not cause harmful interference to primary users
  • you may increase transmitter power to overcome any interference caused by primary users

All amateurs have equal rights to the bands Some bands are shared with other services. Hams may operate within these shared bands, provided they do not cause harmful interference to the other primary user. Shared bands include 7.1-7.3 MHz in the 40m band 51-54 MHz in the 6m band 146-148 MHz in the 2m band NZ operators have the following band on a primary basis 21-21.45MHz the 15m band

This rule applies if two amateur radio stations want to use the same frequency

  • the operator with the newer qualification must yield the frequency to the more experienced operator
  • the station with the lower power output must yield the frequency to the station with the higher power output
  • Correct Answer
    both stations have an equal right to operate on the frequency, the second-comer courteously giving way after checking that the frequency is in use
  • stations in ITU Regions 1 and 2 must yield the frequency to stations in Region 3
