Help update the Tech question pool, but dont get your hopes up

The ARRL reports that the NCVEC Question Pool Committee (QPC) is seeking
input on the Technician Class question pool, which is due to be updated
next year. This may include suggestions for new questions, changes to
current examination topic areas, or changes to existing questions in the
current Technician Question Pool. TheÂ*QPC is seeking input that focuses on
topics that enhance public interest, understanding, and use of amateur
radio, or focus on STEM hands-on learning and education, as well as
questions on new technology, digital modes, station setup and operation,
antennas, and emergency and non-emergency operation.


To submit suggested questions for QPC review, the committee asks that
questions have no more than two 70-character lines, including spaces.
Distractors should be no more than 70-character lines long, and shorter if
possible. Each multiple-choice question must be accompanied by four
possible distractors and only one correct answer. The answer choices may be
in any order, but the correct answer must be indicated by the letters A, B,
C, or D at the beginning of the question. Those submitting suggestions
should provide the resource information that supports the correct answer or
the FCC Part 97 rule.

The QPC will accept question comments, revisions, and submissions from the
amateur radio communityÂ*via email through June 30, 2021. Being the snobs
that they are, and given the lack of transparency in the question pool
process in general, dont expect your suggestions to be acknowledged by the
committee.
