SHOULD ENTER THAT WORST CASE SCENARIO INTO THE CALCULATOR.  IF THE DISTANCE
WHERE PEOPLE MAY BE EXPOSED IS GREATER THAN THE DISTANCE THE CALCULATOR
ESTIMATES, YOUR EVALUATION IS COMPLETE.  ONCE YOU DO THIS EVALUATION ON
EACH BAND AND MODE YOU MIGHT USE, YOU HAVE DONE WHAT THE RULES REQUIRE.  ON
HF, THE UPPER BANDS HAVE LOWER LIMITS, SO IF YOURE USING A TRIBANDER
ANTENNA ON 29R7 MHZ AND YOU PASS, YOULL ALSO PASS ON THE LOWER BANDS USING
THAT SAME ANTENNA.  LIKEWISE, IF YOU PASS AT A 100 DUTY FACTOR, YOULL ALSO

PASS IF YOU USE A MODE WITH THE SAME DUTY FACTOR AND POWER LEVEL, WHILE
USING THE SAME ANTENNA.  OTHER MEANS OF EVALUATION WHILE THE CALCULATOR IS
THE EASIEST WAY, ITS A CONSERVATIVE CALCULATION, SO IT OFTEN OVERESTIMATES
THE SIGNAL FROM YOUR ANTENNA.  IF YOU DONT PASS, YOU CAN USE OTHER, MORE
ACCURATE WAYS TO CALCULATE THE SIGNALS FROM YOUR STATION.  FOR EXAMPLE, YOU
CAN USE ANTENNA MODELING TO PREDICT THE FIELD STRENGTH FROM YOUR STATION.
