Within Boundaries Assigned: Any citizen may obtain a license, regardless of age. Novice, Technician, and Conditional license examinations are conducted by mail under direct supervision of a volunteer ham examiner, who may be a friend or neighbor. Examinations for the other licenses are administered at FCC district offices throughout the year.
Each licensed station is assigned distinguishing call letters and is permitted to operate within boundaries assigned boundaries of assigned amateur frequency ids. The maximum authorized transmitting ver in the United States is 1,000 watts, but average station uses only about 250 watts, lateur stations in other countries often are tricted to fewer frequency bands and the use 200 watts or less.
WITH GARDENS a sense of enclosure is important. On small lots the boundaries may be those of the property or even plantings or other pleasant features on a neighbor's property, for when I speak of boundaries I mean not those of the lot but those that limit the view. On larger grounds the boundaries to views may be well within boundaries assigned the property lines.
Boundaries are of many kinds. Never install one that gives any suggestion of being a spite fence. Many American communities are characterized by a complete absence of fences, walls or hedges around front yards; and grounds of all houses on the street merge into one delightful park-like picture of lawns, trees and shrubbery. If you live in such a community think well before you introduce what is likely to be an incongruous note by sharply defining lot boundaries seen from the street. The mere suggestion of definition by the skill-ful use of a flowering tree, shade tree, evergreen or clumps of shrubs is the most be done and ev.en then great restraint is needed. |
