   Ham Radio Glossary - An overview of amateur radio terms.   
      
   Earth station   
   An amateur station located on, or within 50 km of the Earth's surface   
   intended for communications with space stations or with other Earth   
   stations by means of one or more other objects in space.   
      
   EAS   
   Emergency Alert System. Formerly the Emergency Broadcast System.   
   A system where at first an attention tone is transmitted over all   
   stations, add the second tone, followed with specific instructions   
   regarding the receivable frequency in the local, regional, or   
   national emergency. The EAS is activated during severe weather   
   warnings, chemical spill incidents, dam breaks, etc. Previously   
   known as the Emergency Broadcast System (EBS).   
      
   EBS   
   Emergency Broadcast System. See Emergency Alert System.   
      
   EEPROM   
   Electronically Erasable and Programmable Read Only Memory   
      
   EHF   
   (extremely high frequency). The frequency range 30-300 GHz.   
      
   EME   
   "Earth-Moon-Earth" communication; moonbounce; using the moon as a   
   reflector to "bounce" your signal back down to Earth.  For a complete   
   resource, please see http://www.nitehawk.com/rasmit/ws1_1.html   
      
   Emergency Alert System   
   Also known as EAS. Formerly the Emergency Broadcast System (EBS).   
   A system where at first an attention tone is transmitted over all   
   stations, add the second tone, followed with specific instructions   
   regarding the receivable frequency in the local, regional, or   
   national emergency. The EAS is activated during severe weather   
   warnings, chemical spill incidents, dam breaks, etc.   
      
   Emergency Broadcast System   
   See Emergency Alert System.   
      
   EMI   
   Electro-Magnetic Interference. Often called RFI (Radio Frequency   
   Interference).   
      
   Emission   
   Transmission of a signal.   
      
   Encryption   
   Transmitting cryptic form so that only certain people understand   
   what has been sent. This is used for telecommand information to   
   satellites, etc.   
      
   EQSL   
   "Electronic QSL"...a modern version of the QSL Card to confirm a   
   contact, usually done via the Internet, such as at http://www.eqsl.cc   
   and at the ARRL Logbook Of The World (LoTW), at http://www.arrl.org/lotw .   
   Note that for ARRL awards, you must use the LoTW to confirm your contacts.   
      
   ERP   
   "Effective Radiated Power"; the power supplied to an antenna multiplied   
   by the antenna gain in a given direction (if the direction is not   
   specified, the direction of maximum gain is assumed).   
      
   External RF Power Amplifier   
   A device capable of increasing power output when used in conjunction with,   
   but not an integral part of, a transmitter.   
       
   Extra   
   See "Amateur Extra".   
      
   Eyeball   
   Face-to-face meeting, as in "eyeball QSO" (to speak to one another in   
   person).
