Of the 64 new operators, 61 have taken up membership with the national association - SSA

Not to be outdone by their Swedish neighbours, in the city of Bergen, Norway a group of 15-60 years old have completed an amateur/radio education course.

The training team nearly achieved a perfect result, with all but one of the 22 students passing the exam.

Norway has a single class of Amateur Radio license. It is thought the single 28 question exam paper, to get the equivalent of a CEPT Class 1 licence (equal to UK Full), may be the shortest of any CEPT country.
