  1. What is the maximum permissible exposure (MPE) limit for RF radiation at broadcast frequencies as defined by the FCC for general population/uncontrolled environments?

    Answer: Power density varies by frequency per OET Bulletin 65

    FCC OET Bulletin 65 specifies frequency-dependent MPE limits for uncontrolled environments, not a flat value.

  2. Which OSHA standard governs lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures for broadcast transmission equipment?

    Answer: 29 CFR 1910.147

    OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 is the Control of Hazardous Energy (Lockout/Tagout) standard that applies to broadcast equipment maintenance.

  3. A broadcast tower requires aviation obstruction lighting. Which FAA Advisory Circular primarily governs obstruction marking and lighting requirements?

    Answer: AC 70/7460-1

    FAA Advisory Circular 70/7460-1 (Obstruction Marking and Lighting) is the primary guidance for tower lighting requirements.

  4. When using a spectrum analyzer near energized high-voltage equipment, which personal protective equipment (PPE) is required per NFPA 70E?

    Answer: Arc flash-rated PPE appropriate for the incident energy level

    NFPA 70E requires arc flash-rated PPE selected based on the calculated incident energy at the work location.

  5. What FCC rule requires broadcast licensees to file an environmental assessment before constructing a new antenna tower?

    Answer: 47 CFR Part 1 Subpart I

    47 CFR Part 1 Subpart I implements NEPA requirements, including environmental assessments for new antenna structures.

  6. In a broadcast facility, the National Electrical Code (NEC) Article 520 applies specifically to which environment?

    Answer: Theaters, audience areas, and similar locations

    NEC Article 520 covers theaters, audience areas, motion picture studios, and similar locations commonly found in broadcast facilities.

  7. What is the minimum safe working distance from an energized AM broadcast antenna base for an unprotected worker, according to IEEE C95.1?

    Answer: It depends on the station's ERP and frequency

    IEEE C95.1 RF safety distances are calculated based on the specific power level and frequency, so the safe distance varies by station.
