CRAC Class A (2025) — Questions 341–350
U0340. Listening to CW or SSB contacts, we sometimes hear the abbreviation "XYL". Its meaning is:
收听CW或SSB联络,我们有时会听到缩语"XYL"。其含义是:
Exam tips · 考试提示
XYL is the abbreviation for "wife" (妻子) of an amateur. The female operator herself is YL (C); crystal is XTAL, and transmitter is TX — so only A is correct.
U0341. There is a class of amateur radio operators honored with the title "YL", and some amateur radio contests have made exclusive rules for these people. The meaning of the abbreviation "YL" is:
有一类业余无线电操作员享有称呼"YL"。而有些业余无线电竞 赛也为这些人士制定了专享的规则。缩语"YL"的含义是:
Exam tips · 考试提示
YL means "young lady" — a female amateur radio operator (女 士). Note the distinction from XYL (wife). B (good luck) is GL, C (your) is UR, D is unrelated.
U0342. The term "element" (单元) usually refers to an antenna element (radiator). Its abbreviation is:
术语"单元"通常指天线振子。其缩语是:
Exam tips · 考试提示
天线振子 (antenna element) is abbreviated EL, ELE or ELS. YAGI is a Yagi antenna, ANT is antenna, and UNIT is a generic "unit" — none is the element abbreviation.
U0343. When discussing antennas in amateur radio contacts, the abbreviation DP stands for:
在业余无线电通联中探讨天线时,缩写DP代表:
Exam tips · 考试提示
DP stands for dipole antenna (偶极天线). LW is long-wire, BEAM is directional, VER is vertical — so only A matches DP.
U0344. When discussing antennas in amateur radio contacts, the abbreviation GP stands for:
在业余无线电通联中探讨天线时,缩写GP代表:
Exam tips · 考试提示
GP stands for ground-plane antenna (垂直接地天线) — a quarter-wave vertical with radial ground plane. LP (not GP) is log-periodic; DP is dipole; BEAM is directional.
U0345. When discussing antennas in amateur radio contacts, the abbreviation VER stands for:
在业余无线电通联中探讨天线时,缩写VER代表:
Exam tips · 考试提示
VER stands for vertical antenna (垂直天线). GP is the ground- plane type, BEAM is directional, DP is dipole — so A is correct.
U0346. When discussing antennas in amateur radio contacts, the abbreviation LW stands for:
在业余无线电通联中探讨天线时,缩写LW代表:
Exam tips · 考试提示
LW stands for long-wire antenna (长线天线). DP is dipole, BEAM is directional, VER is vertical — so A is correct.
U0347. When discussing antennas in amateur radio contacts, the abbreviation YAGI stands for:
在业余无线电通联中探讨天线时,缩写YAGI代表:
Exam tips · 考试提示
YAGI stands for Yagi antenna (八木天线), the familiar beam with driven element and parasites. It is directional, but the specific abbreviation YAGI means the Yagi type (A); BEAM is the generic directional term (B).
U0348. When discussing antennas in amateur radio contacts, the abbreviation BEAM stands for:
在业余无线电通联中探讨天线时,缩写BEAM代表:
Exam tips · 考试提示
BEAM stands for a directional/beam antenna (定向天线) — the general term for any antenna with gain in one direction. A Yagi is one type of beam, but BEAM itself means the directional category. 发射类别 Class of Emission
U0349. "Class of emission" means a set of characteristics of an emission designated by standard symbols, e.g., the main carrier modulation method, modulating signal, type of information sent, and other applicable signal characteristics. The emission class representing CW telegraphy is:
发射类别(class of emission)是指用标准符号标示的某发射 的一组特性,例如主载波调制方式,调制信号,被发送信息的 类型以及其他适用的信号特性。表示CW报的发射类别是:
Exam tips · 考试提示
电报 / CW uses emission designator A1A: A (amplitude modulation, keyed), 1 (single channel containing digital information), A (telegraphy, no modulating audio). J3E is SSB phone, F2B and G2B are other facsimile/data types.
