South African Ham Radio Exam Results

The results of the May 2016 RAE are now available on the South African
Radio League website. The exams are held twice a year

The SARL website shows that 88 people passed the 90 question Class A
exam for the HAREC compatible licence, equivalent to UK Full. The
Class A RAE is a single exam direct route to the Full (ZS prefix) 1
kilowatt licence there is no need to take the Class B RAE as well.

Just 8 people passed the 30 question Class B exam for the 100 watt
licence which is equivalent to UK Foundation. The key difference with
the UK is that you need to be under 20 to sit the Class B exam, you
are allowed to hold a Class B (ZU prefix) licence until you are 25.

The population of South Africa is about 53 million slightly smaller
than the UK's 64 million.
