SARL announces details of 'ZU' entry-level licence

At the Radio Technology in Action open day held at the National Amateur Radio Centre yesterday, South African Radio League (SARL) President Graham Hartlett announced details of the entry level to Amateur Radio Licence, often referred to as the ZU licence.

The syllabus will be available on the web from later today to allow students and lecturers to start preparing for the examination. The first ZU examination will be at the same time as the RAE on 19 October 2006. The examination fee, including the ICASA licence application and licence fee will be R217.

The syllabus consists of three sections and the examination is based on 30 multiple choice questions. Twenty questions will cover operating procedure and regulations and the remaining 10 questions will cover the technical section.

From 2007 the SARL is planning to offer the entry level license examination more frequently. Details will be announced as they become available.
