West Germany has 3 classes: A, B, C
All of them require a written test and some formal prerequisites. In
addition, A and B require code test at 30 and 60 char/min. Tests are
divide into 3 sections and the min score required depends on the class:
(eg. for technical skills A > 65%, B > 75%, C > 50%). Class characteristics:
A: Most HF bands with Pout < 150W, all other bands, Pout < 75 for f > 146Mhz
B: All  HF bands with Pout < 750W, all other bands, Pout < 75 for f > 146MHz
C: No   HF bands                 , Rest similar to A
Notes: There is less spectrum available: No 220MHz at all, only 10MHz
       on 70cm and 2Mhz on 2m. There is a monthly fee for a active licence
       of about $1/month. Finally, the situation on 2m is no worse than here
       and there are no problems on higher bands.
