Default Where does part 97 end and part 15 begin?

John,

So, say I had a CW oscillator on the colorburst frequency. I'll shunt
the output
with a 50 ohm resistor to ground. I'll put a random wire at the top of
the
resistor.

Basic equations yield P = (EE) / R

If R is 50 Ohms and maximum output power is 1.7e-9 watts, then E
is 4.1e-5 volts.

So, would a measurement of 40 microvolts or less across the resistor
be satisfactory?

Thanks,

Good question. And, although I support the effort, which was stated, in
helping the youngsters--you also must recognize I would be slow to give
advice. I don't wish to invoke the pointy-headed attorneys when I have
no horse in the race ... grin

Proceed at your own peril ...

Warmest regards,
