The 1978 regulations established five categories of Amateur radio licence in India. The regulations were revised in 2009 and now only two categories are issued. ==Categories in 1978 == The Indian Wireless Telegraphs (Amateur Service) Rules, 1978 listed five licence categories: # Advanced Amateur Wireless Telegraph Station License # Amateur Wireless Telegraph Station License, Grade–I # Amateur Wireless Telegraph Station License, Grade–II # Restricted Amateur Wireless Telegraph Station License # Short Wave Listener's Amateur Wireless Telegraph Station License To obtain a licence in the first four categories, candidates had to pass the Amateur Station Operator's Certificate examination.〔Section 7 〕 This examination is held monthly in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai, every two months in Ahmedabad, Nagpur and Hyderabad, and every four months in some smaller cities.〔Appendix II 〕 The examination consists of two 50-mark written sections: Radio theory and practice, Regulations; and a practical test consisting of a demonstration of Morse code proficiency in both sending and receiving.〔Annexure III, Appendix I, Section 2.3 〕 After passing the examination, the candidate must then clear Local Police and Central Home Department verification. After clearance, the WPC grants the licence along with the user-chosen call sign (if available). This procedure on an average takes 12 months. Grade II Restricted and Grade II are now merged with Restricted Grade since 13 August 2010. Grade 1 and Advance Grade have been merged with General Grade. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Amateur radio licence categories in India」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
