Today the Austrian Bureau for Telecommunication sent me a letter containing my “Amateurfunkbewilligung”; better known as CEPT license. I passed the exam last week. Be aware that the exam is much easier in Austria unlike Germany even though you get the same license. The license allows me to …
- use one of the amateur radio bands. This covers 160, 80, 40, 30, 20, 17, 15, 12, 10, 6, 2 metre and 70 and 23 centimeter frequency bands.
- run radio communication units with a power up to 100 watts
- build, use and modify any radio installations (people without a license may only use a commercially distributed product)
- use any mode of operation on those frequency bands (natural voice, Morse coding on CW frequencies, digital data but only with public protocols and content is restricted and content must not be secret)
