3、 1. INTRODUCTION The CEFT Recommendation TIR 61-02 (Chester 1990, revised Nicosia 1994), makes it possible for CEFT Administrations to issue a Harmonised Amateur Radio Examination Certificate (HAREC). This Certificate shows proof of successfully passing an amateur radio examination that complies wit
4、h the Examination sllabus for HAREC high level A and/or B. It facilitates the issuing of an individual licence to a radio amateur returning to his native country showing this document issued by a foreign CEPT Administration after passing an amateur radio exdation in that foreign country. The develop
5、ing of the CEPT Recommendation TIR 61-02 was possible because national amateur licences and the national amateur examinations in the CEPT countries were based on the similar starting points. Due to the high level standard of the technical theory of the examination syllabus, it was suggested by some
6、CEPT Administrations to develop an ERC Report for a lower level examination suitable for the amateur radio novice class licence. A reason to establish an ERC Report on this topic is the uncertainty of the establishing and/or the implementation of the novice class licence by several CEPT Administrati
7、ons. 2. AMATEUR RADIO NOVICE EXAMINATION SYLLABUS The argument to initiate an Amateur Radio Novice Class can be formulated with the following target groups in mind for youth with technical interest; older or retired people with interest in electronics who want just to experiment with small transmitt
8、ers; and candidates who do not have the educational background to cope with the higher examination levels, but are interested in experiments with transmitters. The Amateur Radio Novice Class permits the experience with anomalous propagation modes, digital transmission modes in combination with compu
9、ter techniques, antenna experiments, home construction of equipment, operating practice. The International Amateur Radio Union was requested to submit a proposal concerning an acceptable lower level examination(s) suitable for a (hannonised) amateur radio novice class. The IARU proposed two lower ex
10、amhation levels. The first lower examination level should contain the technical subjects relevant to tests and experiments with the amateur stations conducted by the novice amateur radio, including the knowledge of Morse code. The second proposed lower examination level should be technical and regul
11、atory subjects, only. Owing to differences in existing National Radio Regulations, it was not possible to achieve a common consensus for creating an Amateur Radio Novice Class with the appropriate lower examination standard. Some Administrations have also divergent views concerning the required Mors
12、e code telegraphy speed and whether or not the Morse code telegraphy examination should be required at ail. It was therefore decided that the amateur radio novice examination syllabus and the amateur radio novice examination certificate, given in this report, could be used as a guideline for Nationa
13、l Administrations wishing to introduce a new or change the national amateur radio novice class licence. Besides, each CEPT and NON-CEPT Administration may decide to recognise novice class licences granted by other Administrations to allow holders of national amateur radio novice licences to obtain a
14、 similar class licence, based on this report. The nationai amateur radio novice examination syllabus should contain at least technical, operational and regu- latory elements. Emphasis may be put on a practical examination together with operating practice as is usual on the amateur bands. The propose
15、d amateur radio novice examination syllabus is shown in Annex 2. ERC REPORT 32 Page 2 3. PROCEDURE FOR ISSUING AN AMATEUR RADIO NOVICE LICENCE AND EXAMINATION CERTIFICATE This ERC report suggests a procedure for issuing an Amateur Radio Novice Examination Certificate (Annex l), and the criteria for
16、the National Novice Examination. Appropriate conditions for the Amateur Radio Novice Licence shall be at the discretion of National Administrations. 3.1 Issuing an Amateur Radio Novice Examination certificate An Amateur Radio Novice Examination Certificate may be issued by Administrations to persons
17、 who have passed a national Novice examination that meets the criteria set out in paragraph 3.2 below. 3.2 Criteria For national amateur radio novice examination The national amateur radio novice examination should cover the subjects that a radio amateur may counter in conducting tests with an amate
