T2A07:
Which of the following is true when making a test transmission?
Station identification is required at least every ten minutes during the test and at the end
Station identification is not required if the transmission is less than 15 seconds
Station identification is not required if the transmission is less than 1 watt
Station identification is required only if your station can be heard
T2A08:
What is the meaning of the procedural signal "CQ"?
Calling any station
Call on the quarter hour
A new antenna is being tested (no station should answer)
