What exactly is a "Foundation class" license? - 73 de Mike KB3EIA - |

It's a very bare-bones entry class license, with an easy entrance examination and a low level of privileges, sort of "here's a taste of amateur radio --- there's more where this came from".

You're also restricted to type-approved equipment. 73 Ivor G6URP |

Here's information further to my last post. http://www.arrl.org/news/stories/2002/01/10/1/ The Man in the Maze QRP from Baboquivari Peak, AZ -- Iitoi It appears to me like the "Foundation License" is actually more difficult to get than our current Technician license. The mandatory 10 hour class, while philosophically a good idea, could be a real hardship for people in our rural areas and people whose work schedules do not accommodate available class schedules. On the other hand, in the US, one can get the short question/answer/brief explanation books and fit their study into available moments as they come along in the course of the day. Dee, N8UZE |
