Amateur Radio Exams in South Africa postponed again

South Africa holds two amateur radio exams a year in May and October.
This year the May exam was first postponed until June 27 and has now been
postponed indefinitely

SARL News says:





*Thank you to all those Clubs who responded to the RAE Exam Centre Letter
dated 4 June. The majority of Clubs have indicated that they are not
willing to go ahead with the RAE under the current Government lock down
regulations. The RAE team and the Council have therefore decided to
postpone the RAE examination, which is currently set for 27 June,
indefinitely or until such time that the relevant regulations permit us to
hold the exam. Once the regulations have been relaxed, indicating that it
is safe to have small gatherings, we will set a new date for the RAE. We
need approximately two weeks to be able to courier all the exam papers to
the various centres around the country. Hence, we will give all candidates
and exam centres a two weeks’ notice period. We cannot make any exceptions
to this rule so everyone will write the exam on the same day. This will
also give each Club more time to complete the HF assessment for their
candidates. All exam centres should continue mentoring their candidates,
using one of the online platforms such as Zoom and Cisco Webex.We will also
have to postpone the October RAE. A new date will be set in consultation
with all the invigilators and their respective Clubs.*

There are two categories of amateur radio licence in South Africa:
• Class A which requires a pass in a 60 question HAREC compatible exam and
permits 1 kW output
• Class B which requires a pass in a 30 question exam (equivalent to UK
Foundation) and permits 100 watts output

The Class B licence is only issued to people who are under 21-years-old. It
is cancelled when the holder reaches their 25th birthday.

An HF Practical Assessment is required for both Class A and Class B
licences and there are additional Practical Assessments to be completed for
Class B.
