South African RAE results

The results of the May 2005 RAE have been available on the web site of the SARL since Wednesday. A letter which contains all the particulars of the results will be posted to all candidates shortly.

Candidates to whom a callsign has been assigned are reminded that an agreement exists between the SARL and ICASA, whereby you may use your callsign immediately.

There was a pass percentage of 86% in the examination.

Congratulations to Mr I H N Gibson of Cresta who achieved the highest mark in this examination. He passed with an average mark of 91% and now boasts with the callsign ZR6IFS.

The youngest candidate to pass the examination was the 9 year old Elandré van der Walt of Bloemfontein, with his 11 year old brother Luan as the second youngest to pass. Both of them are, however, first going to pass the 12 wpm Morse Code test before applying for a callsign. SARL News has learnt that their very proud father, Bernie ZS4TX has already arranged for the purchase of new radios!

The SARL wishes to thank all invigilators and examination centres for their co-operation in having the examination run smoothly.

The next RAE will take place on 17 November 2005.
