ARLA/CLUSTER: Apresentado estudo sobre o radioamadorismo na Suécia

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

 Study of ham radio in Sweden

A study of the distribution and usage profiles of Amateur Radio stations in
Sweden written in English is available for download

The study, produced in 2016, reinforces the already well-established fact
that the RF emissions from amateur radio stations are safe, but it also
provides a valuable snapshot of the state of the hobby in Sweden towards
the end of 2015.

There are graphics showing clearly the demographic problem in Sweden, the
average age of all radio amateurs in 2015 is given as 63. Young amateurs
(those under 25) seem to be near to complete wipe out.

In December 2015 the Swedish regulator PTS monitored activity on the
amateur 144 MHz band averaged over 72 hours. The report shows that apart
from a very high level of local noise interference picked up by the
monitoring station across 144.0-144.650 just about the only significant
activity on the band was a repeater station on 145.600 MHz.

The report notes that 1,862 amateur radio certificates have been issued
since April 2004 and 10,512 were issued prior to that. Amateur radio in
Sweden was deregulated in 2004 and there is no renewal required. It is
unclear how, if at all, deaths can be picked up in the amateur certificate
issued figures. It may be assumed that a significant number of amateurs
included in the totals are in fact dead.

There is only one amateur radio class in Sweden. It is equivalent to CEPT
Class 1 and requires passing a single straight-forward multiple-choice exam
with 30 regulatory questions and 43 technical questions. Typical test
questions (in Swedish) can be seen at
