Analyse Your Station for EMR Safety Compliance
The WIA's Education Committee, in consultation with the Spectrum Committee, have released a new EMR/EME awareness presentation and a station analysis tool.
The package consists of a PowerPoint/pdf presentation, a station analysis flowchart, and a link to the RSGB's online EMR/EME calculator.
Thanks to the RSGB for approving the calculators use by the WIA.
All the information, together with the flowchart and a link to the RSGB calculator, is on the new Education Committee website at Link
Click on the 'For WIA Radio Clubs' tab at the top of the home page.
This is the start of the journey to improve the EMR appreciation, knowledge, and skills, of every amateur radio operator in Australia.
Compliance with EMR safety standards has been a condition of your amateur licence since 2003, both Apparatus and Class licenses.
It is both a safety requirement and a step along the way in negotiating higher power privileges for Australian radio amateurs.
Everyone should have a go at analysing their stations EMR compliance using the Flowchart and the RSGB online calculator.
You will need to enter the characteristics of your station to determine its ‘compliance class’: Class-1 or Class-2. Stations that
are found to be Class-2 are then required to use the RSGB online calculator to determine the required exclusion zone around the transmitting antenna.
Most people will be surprised how small the required exclusion zone is for the average amateur station running 400 Watts or less.
Let us know what you think.
