 NEW AMATEUR RADIO LICENSE EXAM
 
 The new amateur radio test is here.  A few changes have been made.
 The new test has been designed so that the same test can be given
 for all license classes.  To qualify for the higher classes of
 license, all you have to do is score better on the test.  This makes
 things so much simpler for VE's.
 
 I have included a copy of the new exam.
