Turn off the transmitter and disconnect the feedline  ------ G0A13 (D) What precaution should be taken when installing a ground-mounted antenna? D. It should be installed so no one can be exposed to RF radiation in excess of maximum permissible limits
G0A14 (D) What is one thing that can be done if evaluation shows that a neighbor might receive more than the allowable limit of RF exposure from the main lobe of a directional antenna?D. Take precautions to ensure that the antenna cannot be pointed at their house  ------ G0A15 (D) [97.13(c)(1)] How can you determine that your station complies with FCC RF exposure regulations?

Current flowing from the hot wire to ground ------ G0B06 (D) Why must the metal chassis of every item of station equipment be grounded (assuming the item has such a chassis)? D. It ensures that hazardous voltages cannot appear on the chassis 
G0B07 (B) Which of the following should be observed for safety when climbing on a tower using a safety belt or harness?B. Always attach the belt safety hook to the belt "D" ring with the hook opening away from the tower ------ G0B08 (B) What should be done by any person preparing to climb a tower that supports electrically powered devices?B. Make sure all circuits that supply power to the tower are locked out and tagged
