'Third-Party communication': a message originating from or intended for a person other than the two amateurs in a radio contact. Originally, countries needed to sign agreements permitting exchanges of messages on behalf of third parties. Nowadays, each country states its position: "Any foreign administration may permit its amateur stations to communicate on behalf of third parties without having to enter into any special arrangements with Canada. Canada does not prohibit international communications on behalf of third parties. (RBR-4, formerly RIC-2)"

Given the owner of the station and the control operator are JOINTLY responsible, they only have in common the lesser of the privileges. Quoted from a 1980 TRC-25: "57) a licensee may permit another certificate holder to operate his station using only such frequencies and emission modes as the licensee is qualified to use or, if the person is not as qualified as the licensee, only such frequencies and emission modes as the person is qualified to use". Interpretation: a licensed visiting operator may only operate the station within your or his privileges, whichever are lower.

Transmissions occupy a certain bandwidth on the radio spectrum, i.e., a range of frequencies around the operating frequency; how wide a chunk depends on the amount of information to be transmitted concurrently. For example, a commercial TV channel requires 6 megahertz of bandwidth. Here are a few Amateur modes: CW (Morse) = about 100 Hz, SSB = 2 to 3 kHz, FM @ 5 kHz deviation = 10 to 20 kHz.

Measuring the "direct current input power" presumes that the current consumed strictly by the power amplifier and its working voltage are known. The "radio frequency output power" can be measured at the RF output connector of the power amplifier with a wattmeter. Of the two, this last one is more readily accessible.

"Unless the proposal meets the exclusion criteria outlined in Section 6, proponents must consult with the local land-use authorities on any proposed antenna system prior to any construction (...).Under their processes, land-use authorities may exclude from consultation any antenna system installation in addition to those identified by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada's own consultation exclusion criteria (...)".

"Upon receipt of a written request, from a stakeholder other than the general public, asking for Departmental intervention concerning a reasonable and relevant concern (...). The Department will, based on the information provided, either: make a final decision on the issue(s) in question, and advise the parties of its decision; or suggest the parties enter into an alternate dispute resolution process (...)".

"For the following types of installations, proponents are excluded from the requirement to consult with the land-use authorities and the public, but must still fulfill the General Requirements outlined in Section 7: (...) new antenna systems, including masts, towers or other antenna-supporting structure, with a height of less than 15 metres above ground level".

"Land-use authorities are encouraged to establish reasonable, relevant, and predictable consultation processes specific to antenna systems that consider such things as: the designation of suitable contacts or responsible officials; proposal submission requirements; public consultation; documentation of the concurrence process; and the establishment of milestones to ensure consultation process completion within 120 days".

Health-Canada publishes 'Safety Code 6' (Limits of Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields) to protect workers and general public from adverse health effects. The lowest exposure limit is set to '28 volts per metre' for the range of 10 MHz to 300 MHz. This range is presumed to be the one over which the human body most readily absorbs RF energy. Limits on either side of that range are higher. Since 1999, a previous exemption for portable transmitters has been removed (i.e., handhelds are no longer exempt from code requirements).

Key words: NOT CORRECT. All installations must comply with Safety Code 6. At one time, portable transmitters below 1 GHz and less than 7 watts were automatically excluded from evaluation; this is now false.

Key word: FALSE. The Code does not refer directly to power levels. Antenna gain, distance, transmitter power and frequency are all factors which influence exposure. Exposure limits relate to electric (volt/metre) and magnetic (ampere/metre) field strengths; Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) limits are expressed in watts/kilogram; induced and contact currents are stated in milliamperes.

"If the level of the transmitted signal exceeds the applicable field strength value on the premises of the affected equipment, it will be deemed that the transmission is the cause of the problem. If the field strength is less than the applicable value, the affected equipment's lack of immunity will be judged the cause. These criteria are not applicable to incidents involving the transmissions of AM, FM or TV broadcasting transmitters". (EMCAB-2)

Key word: NOT. The "Criteria for Resolution of Immunity Complaints involving Fundamental Emissions of Radiocommunications Transmitters" considers 3 categories of electronic equipment: 'Broadcast Receivers', 'Associated Equipment' (recorders, players, amplifiers, converters, etc.) and 'Radio-Sensitive Equipment' (all other non-radio electronic equipment). The criteria are not applicable to incidents involving the transmissions of AM, FM or TV broadcasting transmitters. (EMCAB-2)
