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. -- Andreas (DC5ZV)
