[E. Glenn Wolf, Jr.]

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 these formats: Adobe PDF, MS Word .doc
file, RTF and ASCII text. 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
