#M6 foundation licence full
M Full licence, after Apr 1996 - (M1 no Morse), (M0 12wpm, 5 wpm or none!), (M5 Morse at 5wpm)įoundation, started Jan 2002 - (M3/6, course)Ģ Intermediate, started 1991 - (2E1, course), (2E0, course + Morse test at 12 or 5 wpm) Holders of these M3 callsigns will now be complete newcomers, though for a year or two it was possible for Full/Int.Ĭlass B (codeless) operators to take the Morse 'test' and thus get onto HF with the addtional M3 licence.įrom 2004 new licensees will have to take the Foundation course (with Morse 'appreciation'!), then the IntermediateĬourse, and then finally the Full course - probably 'wasting' 2 callsigns along the way. 'appreciation' test just about complied with the S25 of the time, to allow access to HF (without 10 metres). The beginner's Foundation Class was also announced in October 2001, hitting the airwaves on 1st January 2002, The Novice Class was renamed the Intermediate Class in October 2001, and is the middle tier between the Foundation Had to attend a course and then take the NRAE (Novice RAE). In 1991 the Novice Classes A and B were introduced. Morse for HF, Classes A and B merged together into the new Full class, sometimes mistakenly called the Advanced class after the training book for the Full Licence was called "Advance!". When S25 was ammended in 2003 to not require In 2001, this Class became Class A by default. When CEPT dropped the neccessary speed to 5wpm To the CEPT standard of 12wpm and thus wasn't a proper CEPT Class 1. The A/B Class was introduced in 1999 when it was realised thatĥwpm Morse was good enough to allow a licensee onto HF, although the M5 callsign signified that the licensee wasn't quite up Class Bs were actually allowed all bands above 30MHz, being kept off HF by the international regulation S25 requiring Morse testing.īy 2000 the G2, G3, G4, G0, M0 callsigns were in use for Class A,Īnd G8, G6, G1, G7, M1 were in use for Class B. 'codeless' licensees were restricted initially to 70cms and up, but the lower limit came down to 144MHz in 1968, then nearly 20 years later the Class B licence finally included 70MHz and 50MHz with the full release of 6m in June 1987. (update: G3aaa/T calls from 1950 allowed use of 420MHz and above, for /Television use, without Morse) Both Classes required an RAE (exam) pass, the only difference in Other licence holders then became Class A. Callsigns start with M3 or M6 (or MM3, MW3 etc)īackground : there were no classes as such until 1964 when the UHF Class B was introduced, and all Callsigns start with 2įoundation - less bands, 10W max. Callsigns start with G and M (except M3 & M6) ** Now that old calls are being increasingly reissued, the 'era of issue'įull / Advanced - all bands, max power. * M0 may know Morse, or may have been licenced after Morse testing finished.
