Licence Conditions Quiz

Posted on By Pete M0PSX No Comments on Licence Conditions Quiz

As part of the February 2014 CARS Skills Workshop on the 17th of February 2014, we set a short quiz, featuring 10 UK licence conditions quiz questions – 5 were aimed at Foundation licence holders, and for Full licence holders. The questions stimulated some interesting debate, and a little controversy too!

As requested on the night, we’ve put the questions live on the site, so you can have a go in your own time. If you want us to check the answers, hit “Submit Your Answers” to get the answers sent by email.

Just a bit of fun!

Q2 What do the following prefixes signify: MX0 ; GB3 ; MB7 and 2U1

Q4 You hear GB3VHF on 144.430MHz – Is this a legal transmission & can you reply?

Q6 List three situations when you’d be allowed to have a QSO on the amateur bands with someone transmitting in the UK who does not hold a UK amateur radio licence (bonus marks for getting 6 or more!)
