1H1 Apply the schedule to the Intermediate licence. A copy of the Schedule will be available during the examination.
As an Intermediate licence holder you are only allowed to transmit 100W PEP on most bands, but you should check each band and each part of the band you wish to transmit that you do not exceed you licenced power levels. You need to remember that you can only use 32W on the upper part of 1.8MHz band (160M) and only 1W PEP on the 135.7KHz band.
Some students are still not using the paper work given
to them in the exam which is the schedule as shown below. Make sure that
you have a working knowledge of how to use the paper work so that if given
a frequency or a ranges of frequencies you would be able to find out from
the paper work the answer to the question as to say whether you can use the
given frequency on a primary, secondary basis, non interference, or what
ever it is. The question will not say look this up but when you are given
a frequency or a range of frequencies you must then know to look at the paper
work and check it out carefully.
Not to be able to answer a question on this section
could also indicate that you have never looked at the schedule with your
Foundation Licence as you have to know for the Foundation Licence what you
can and cannot do by reference to a similar schedule.
