I will soon be called upon to give the tests for a Novice license. A long time ago, a novice test question bank came across the net, but some of them were outdated, and I no longer have it. If somebody has a set of current questions (with the ratios of numbers of questions from each section), or some sample Novice tests, I would appreciate getting a copy. Also, what are the specific requirements for the code test: Is it up to the examiner's discretion? Is it a sample QSO with multiple-choice questions? Is it 5 minutes of code, of which 1 minute of perfect copy is required? What numbers/punctuation is required? As you see, I am in need of whatever current information is available. Thanks (in advance, of course), John Burgess, N7DCQ

I suggest that you get in touch with the ARRL VEC Office, ARRL/VEC - same address as in QST - They certainly have all the information that you would need in that regard. Also, the current ARRL "Tune in the World with Amateur Radio" has the up-to-date question bank for the novices - or is it the License Manual, but definitely one of the two. Hope this helps, Peter Baldwin, WA1SNH ptb@mitre-bedford
