  • Techs: Now is the Time to Upgrade to General!

    From ARRL de WD1CKS@VERT/WLARB to QST on Tuesday, July 11, 2023 19:25:49
    07/11/2023

    A new question pool took effect on July 1, 2023, for General-class license exams. ARRL has released new editions of its popular study resources including the 10th edition of The ARRL General Class License Manual[1] and the 7th edition of ARRL's General Q&A[2].

    ARRL has also updated its free online review and practice resource, ARRL Exam Review for Ham Radio[3].

    "ARRL Volunteer Examiners (VEs) are already administering the new General-class exams," said ARRL VEC Manager Maria Somma, AB1FM. Somma suggests that candidates first take a practice test using ARRL Exam Review. "If you're already passing online practice exams, then you're ready to search for an in-person exam session team, or you can take the exam online via a remote video-supervised session." Visit the exam session search page[4] on the ARRL website.

    The new General-class question pool is valid for examinations taken between July 1, 2023, and June 30, 2027. "Upgrading from a Technician-class license to General-class significantly opens more operating privileges on HF bands," added Somma.
