NEW UNIFIED AMATEUR RADIO LICENSE EXAM

The new unified amateur radio test has been announced and is here. A few
important changes have been made. The new test has been designed in order
that the same test can be given for all license classes. To qualify for the
higher classes of license, all you have to do is score better on the test.
This makes things so much simpler for VE's.

I have included a copy of the new exam.
