Talk on Proposed Beginners Amateur Radio License

/

The Academic Radio Club (ARK) report the annual ham radio meeting at Gardermoen featured a presentation by Torbjørn LA4ZCA on Norway's proposed new beginners license

Norwegian Hammeeting is a convention for radio amateurs in Norway to connect and where relevant organizations like NKOM [communications regulator] and NRRL [national society] present their news and information ...

When introduced, this beginner license will have lower issuance requirements in exchange for limited rights in terms of things like operating bands and output power.

Additionally, there is a plan to introduce the hobby early on in schools and make the study material more accessible. ARK has been hosting license courses for a while, so we are naturally interested in this project, considering the opportunities the new license will bring our members.
