Didn't they teach you anything on your "F" Call course?

There are standard calls that don't know what power they are permitted... 30 watts AM and FM (not 100 ... that's SSB only) in case they are reading this...

If you've been to Ham College, how come you still can't spell amateur?
Surely you would have learnt about what class of license you were applying for?

Unfortunately there's still a fair amount of misinformation here and there about what's allowed and what's not - and the pX vs pY manages to still confuse people as well (as robbage mentions)...

Congratulations though to slipknot on completing the foundation course! Look forward to hearing you on-air!

So whats your new call sign?

Jeez slipknot, why didn't you just say you had passed the F and were waiting for a callsign. Or did I miss something (likely)
Congrats mate. Your shout.

I must admit I will need to bone up on the regs if I am to get back on air again. I have been inactive since ~1997 and am aware the regs have undergone some changes in that time.

Because I had a 2 letter full call at the time, I've kept renewing my license every year in order to keep it. I dare say any spare 2 letter calls that pop up get snapped up!

The LCD has changed but the regs are basically the same.
I first passed the regs in 84 but couldn't find any paper work and had to re sit them last year when I started to get back into radios, not a lot was different.

The current LCD is here:
