No change yet for UK Amateur Radio Exams

Although the revised UK amateur radio licence should start being issued to new amateurs in January 2015, the exams will not yet reflect the changes

The Radio Communications Foundation (RCF) say Exam Centres and candidates are advised that the exams will not be changed without due warning and will continue on the present conditions. The Examination Committee (EC) are currently deciding what timescale is appropriate but advise now that confusion between the two sets of conditions will not result in an unfair examination result.
