ARLA/CLUSTER: FCC realiza exames em Pretoria na África do Sul

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

FCC examinations held in Pretoria

The US Federal Communications Commission, or FCC, issues amateur radio
licences to anyone with a US mailing address. No residence or
citizenship is required. For South Africans, an FCC licence is useful
in that it enables you to operate from countries with which the US has
a reciprocal agreement, but South Africa does not.

Examinations for FCC licences are conducted by Volunteer Examiners.
Three volunteer examiners from the C82DX DXpedition recently assisted
locals with a testing session near Pretoria. Six South Africans
qualified for American licences. Once their paperwork is complete,
they will also become examiners, establishing a permanent testing team
in Gauteng.

ZS6BK, ZS6FDX and ZS6PJH qualified for General class licences, while
ZS6LMG, ZS6MDH and ZS6SF qualified for Extra class.

The team intends to conduct regular exam sessions in Gauteng.
If you are interested in participating in a future session, please let
Chris Burger ZS6EZ know. You'll then receive notice of any further
testing sessions. If your club has more than five interested
candidates, it should be possible to hold a special exam session at
your premises.

More details can be found via a link on ZS6EZ's QRZ.com profile.
