February Face-to-Face: FCC RF Exposure Rules – Staying Safe & Compliant

Our February Face-to-Face meeting will deal with a very important topic that is of interest to every licensed Ham Radio Operator!

We are going to talk about how to stay safe and compliant with FCC Radio Frequency Exposure rules.  How to keep your station safe and in compliance with FCC exposure and record keeping rules that apply to all licensed Amateurs. New FCC Rules have been implemented and the transition (i.e., grace) period ended on May 3, 2023. The presentation focuses on the use of the ARRL on-line calculators that are one (relatively easy) means of performing an RF Exposure Safety evaluation of your fixed and mobile stations.

When obtaining or renewing their FCC License, all Amateurs have certified that they have read and will comply with FCC rules regarding RF Radiation Safety. But did you know the method of determining whether your station needs to be evaluated and the new formula-based methods of ensuring compliance?  All amateurs operating transmitters (except HTs) in the U.S. today are expected to comply and provide documentation to the FCC upon request. Can you?   What do you need to do to get into and remain in compliance?
