RF Test

The FCC has set new guidelines for RF-exposure rules, eliminating service-specific exemptions from the need to do a routine RF-safety evaluation and replacing those exemptions with a formula that applies to all radio service. The rules did not change the exposure limits nor the two-tiered exposure environments for controlled and uncontrolled exposure. The controlled limits generally apply to amateurs and members of their household if those people have been given instructions by the amateur about RF safety. The uncontrolled limits apply in all other circumstances, such as exposure to the general public.

The ARRL has provided a form to help run the RF-exposure test needed to comply with the New FCC Rules, I am providing a link to that page to help members and non members alike run the needed test.
