New Technician class question pool released to the public

January 23, 2006 -- The National Conference of Volunteer Examination Coordinators (NCVEC) Question Pool Committee (QPC) has released the new Technician (Element 2) Amateur Radio examination question pool. The new Element 2 question pool is available for viewing or download in Adobe PDF format. Other versions may be available on request. The new question pool will become effective for all examinations administered on or after July 1, 2006, and it will remain valid until June 30, 2010. The current Element 2 question pool that became effective July 1, 2003, will expire June 30, 2006. The new Technician pool contains 396 questions, from which 35 are selected for an Element 2 examination. This question pool contains no graphics or diagrams. The QPC requests that anyone spotting possible errors or suggesting corrections contact the Question Pool Committee via e-mail. Reference the question pool (ie, Technician, General, Amateur Extra) in the subject line, and include the question number(s) involved plus a brief explanation. Interested parties also welcome to forward comments and suggestions for new questions or changes in topic areas for any of the three question pools, Element 2, 3 or 4. Jim Wiley, KL7CC, of the Anchorage VEC chairs the QPC. Members are Perry Green, WY1O, of the ARRL VEC and Larry Pollock, NB5X, of the W5YI VEC.--NCVEC
