Great info. Thanks.
But I wish the tests in canada were more about use and less technical. Most people are running off the shelf stuff and the nuances of building a unit arent important. Maybe even 2 levels of license. Basic and advanced or something. Until then, long live pirate radio i guess.

Yep the test is just a memorization exercise all but a few questions are really applicable. But once you get it the opportunities are much broader than off the shelf stuff. I was a pirate for 30+ years but wanted to use the repeaters. (0|||||||0)

There are three levels:
Basic
Basic with Honours
Advanced

Redoing this test many times along with the coures helped me pass my license.

Just to throw it out there, I am an accredited examiner. If you happen to be wandering through my area, I can do the examination. No charge of course.

Can I pass on this offer to our ham committee?

Abseloutely!

Keep in mind however, I can only issue tests to Canadian citizens, unfortunately. But the more the word is spread, the more operators hit the airwaves.

This link is a handy one to find examiners by province, or area code. I can be reached at plasmajab@outlook.com, or plasmajab@gmail.com
