本帖下将详细更新FCC考试流程以及有关考试的详细介绍。

FCC考试对于在海外学习工作的HAM在境外操作业余无线电台是有一定的便利的。我在JA和VK在不告知政府相关部门的情况下直接进行发射了活动，已经使用VK2/AK6CU进行了一些通联。同时在VK可以联系ACMA使用FCC执照进行RPL认证，费用为188AUD（呼号费用另计），今天刚刚爆的金币…… 有出现使用FCC Callsign在中国境内通过加前后缀（Bn/）的方式违规发射的情况，同时违反了中国和美国的法律。大家需要应以为戒，务必合法操作，不要被装逼冲昏了头脑…… [upl-image-preview url=https://storage.hamcq.cn/2024-10-03/1727959392-77488-2024-10-03-223437.png]

## 前言暑假的时候，因为没什么事情做，突然想起之前考的无线电执照和买来的电台，果断拾起业余无线电的爱好。在各种群里面交流的时候看见群友 @"VR2WBZ"#4788 有香港国内双呼号，于是动了搞双呼号的念头。上网转了一圈发现，**香港的VR2呼号只能由本地人取得，外地台只能申请VR2/前缀**，于是乎放弃。 **但是——** 在查资料的时候，我看到了美国的FCC无线电执照。考到就直接发呼号，而且可以换日本执照。这就是说：考FCC可以拿到**三呼号**（国内，美国，日本）恰好学校每周周考完有大段时间自习，B证已经备考完了，等11月杭州市考试，闲着也是闲着，考个FCC就算国内没得用，拿一张糊墙纸也值得。 **（其实还是虚荣心作祟）**

## 一、基本介绍 ### 1.什么是FCC考试？（FCC考试有两种，一种是商业执照的考试，另一种是美国的业余无线电考试，我们在此仅讨论后一种。） FCC考试是美国业余无线电执照的考试，类似国内CRAC组织的无线电考试，考这个执照可以取得美国业余无线电执照。（好像在讲废话） ### 2.美国执照有什么特点？ - 分**三个等级**：Technican（T），General（G），Amateur Extra（E），分别类似国内的A，B，C照 - T证即可操作短波 - 美国无需电台验机，通过考试，取得执照就发放呼号 - 考试难度比国内更高 - UV段 1500W发射 - 多国认可 ## 3.考试形式是什么？ - 组织者：无线电爱好者组成的考试机构VEC（Volunteer Examiner Coordinator） - 考试内容：题库中抽选 [题库链接](https://hamstudy.org) - 每一级别考试通过以后，可以直接考下一级，直到通过E级 - 可以现场考试和线上考试 ## 4.考这玩意有什么用？ - 装杯（三个呼号印在QSL上面，有面子。杭州本地一位Ham @"Ken"#3884 就是三个呼号） - 国外发射 - 证明实力

@"BG5CYY"#p34814 没想到我会以这种方式被cue😅。其实我觉得提到国外呼号的作用时，也可以举一些更积极正面的例子。在HelloCQ等老社区中，我就注意到有几位老一辈HAM是在多国业余无线电界活跃过的，他们很多为这个圈子的跨国交流真正做出过贡献。他们的经历也说明，取得多国呼号只是方法而不是目的。说回我自己，首先要感谢把FCC考试引入中国的盛老师 @"BA1AJ"#528 。我在美国生活工作过两年，设台发射过，并参与过当地的爱好者活动，因此FCC呼号确实发挥了作用。可惜的是，当时没在意留存通联日志。当年我也在广坛等处写过一些介绍美国无线电情况的文章（比如[这篇](https://forum.hamcq.cn/d/3160)），也算是有一点小小的国际交流成果。至于我的日本呼号，也是参考了HelloCQ上的前辈文章申请的。手头有签证，就想在旅游时接触一下当地HAM。只是日本对非长期居留的外国HAM的条件比较苛刻，执照以前给1年有效期，现在只给90天，比较鸡肋。就当是体现业余无线电的折腾精神吧。

@"BG5CYY"#p34812 難繃，這就被挂了，我不予置評

剛剛在外面，現在來具體的回覆一下因為在新法規發布前，未成年人在大陸不可設台遂考慮在香港考試，後以大陸與香港互認條例下換了證。

> @"BG5CYY"#p34812 考到就直接发呼号，而且可以换日本执照。这可能是在日本操作最简单的路径，但是： - 4600日元申请费。 - 需要提供在日本使用的设备。设备如果没有日本备案（似乎只有日本生产的设备才有这种备案；待考），需要另交一笔手续费。 - 执照有效期很短，基本是你的旅行起止日期（是的，申请需要提供旅行计划）。 - 过期后可以更新，但又要交钱和重新申请。 - 需要提前3个月左右申请。 - HF只给10W的许可。（可以申请更多；待考）论坛新人，轻拍 NE6NE

@"Ken"#p34847 非常感谢您的回复！受个人认知所限，我对业余无线电这些意义的认知还是非常浅薄。我现在在重写全文，不知道到时您能否指点一二。我当然没有说您在卡片上面印三个呼号是“装”的意思（虽然表述上看起来就是这样，应该是我表达错误了）。我看到您的卡片觉得非常有意思，自己也想搞一个差不多的。

@"VR2WBZ"#p34858 难绷的应该是我吧，我寻思我就提了一嘴你有两个呼号，也没评价什么，你反倒说我在挂你？

Introduction

During the summer vacation, with nothing to do, I suddenly remembered getting my amateur radio license and buying a radio. I decided to pick up my hobby of amateur radio again. While communicating in various groups, I saw my friends. @VR2WBZ Since I have a domestic Hong Kong dual-band license, I considered setting up a dual-band operation.
I browsed online and found that...In Hong Kong, the VR2 call sign can only be obtained by local individuals; foreign stations can only apply for VR2 or a prefix.Therefore, I gave up.
However—
While researching, I came across information about US FCC radio licenses. Apparently, you can simply use a call sign and also obtain a Japanese license.
This means that you can obtain FCC certification.Call sign number 3(China, United States, Japan)
Luckily, the school has a long period of self-study after each weekly exam. The B license is already prepared, and since there's plenty of time before the Hangzhou city exam in November, I might as well take the FCC exam even if it doesn't have any practical use in China; getting one would still be worthwhile.
(It's really just vanity at play.)

BG5CYY I can't handle this; it has been terminated, and I will not comment further.

BG5CYY Once you pass the exam, you can directly use the call sign, and you can also obtain a Japanese license.

This might be the simplest path to operate in Japan, but:

Application fee of 4600 Japanese Yen.
The device must be suitable for use in Japan. If the device does not have Japanese certification (which appears to only apply to devices manufactured in Japan; pending verification), an additional fee will be required.
The validity period of the permit is very short, essentially corresponding to your travel start and end dates (yes, you need to provide your travel plans when applying).
It can be updated after expiration, but this requires paying a fee and re-applying.
It's necessary to apply approximately 3 months in advance.
HF only grants a license for 10W. (More licenses can be applied for; pending review)

I. Basic Introduction

1. What is the FCC exam?

(There are two types of FCC exams: one for commercial licenses, and another for amateur radio licenses in the United States. We will only discuss the latter here.)
The FCC exam is the exam for obtaining a US amateur radio license, similar to the wireless radio exams organized by CRAC in China. Passing this exam allows you to obtain a US amateur radio license.
(Sounds like they're just talking nonsense)

2. What are the characteristics of US licenses?

DivideThree levels: Technician（T）, General（G）, Amateur Extra（E）, similar to domestic A, B, and C formats.
The T-certificate allows for operation on shortwave frequencies.
In the United States, no radio station license is required; obtaining a license through an exam grants the user a call sign.
The exam difficulty is higher than that of domestic exams.
UV segment, 1500W output
Recognized internationally

3. What is the format of the exam?

Organizer: VEC (Volunteer Examiner Coordinator), an examination organization composed of amateur radio enthusiasts.
Exam Content: Selected from the question bank. Question bank link
After successfully passing each level of the exam, you can directly proceed to the next level until you pass Level E.
Both in-person and online exams are available.

4. What's the point of doing this?

Putting a label (with three call signs printed on it) on a QSL card gives you face; a local Ham from Hangzhou. @Ken (Specifically, the three call signs)

BG5CYY I didn't expect to be involved in this situation.😅。

In fact, I think it would be beneficial to also provide some more positive and constructive examples when discussing the role of international call signs. For example, in communities like HelloCQ, I've noticed that several experienced amateur radio operators have been active in multiple countries. They have made significant contributions to cross-border communication within the hobby. Their experiences demonstrate that obtaining multiple call signs is a means, not an end in itself.

To be clear, I would like to start by thanking Mr. Sheng for introducing the FCC exam to China. @BA1AJ . I lived and worked in the United States for two years, operated a station there, and participated in local amateur radio activities. Therefore, my FCC call sign was indeed effective. Unfortunately, I didn't keep records of my communications at the time. I also wrote some articles about American radio (e.g.,This article), which also represents a small but significant achievement in international exchange.

Regarding my Japanese call sign, I applied for it based on an article by a senior member on HelloCQ. Since I had a visa, I wanted to try contacting local HAMs while traveling. However, the requirements for foreign amateur radio operators in Japan who do not intend to reside long-term are quite strict. The license used to have a validity of 1 year, but now it is only valid for 90 days, which makes it somewhat useless. I just see it as a way to experience the spirit of amateur radio.

BG5CYY

Ken Thank you very much for your reply!
Due to my limited understanding of amateur radio, my knowledge is still quite superficial. I am currently rewriting the entire text, and I was wondering if you could offer some guidance at that time.
I certainly didn't mean to say that printing three call signs on the card was "a way" (although it might have sounded like I was saying that). I found your card very interesting and wanted to get one similar myself.

BG5VNH

Ken When did you apply for your Japanese license? I applied through JARL in early January to handle the application with the Kantō Metropolitan Bureau of Communications, and the validity period is one year. However, since policies differ by region in Japan, the validity period for those applying from within China is only until the date of departure.

BG5CYY

VR2WBZ I think it was me who was most flustered. I just mentioned that you had two call signs, and didn't say anything negative, but you accused me of being on your line?

VR2WBZ

I was just outside; now I'll provide a more specific response.
Due to the fact that regulations were not yet in place, I initially considered taking the exam in Hong Kong before they came into effect. Subsequently, after the mainland and Hong Kong mutual recognition of laws came into effect, I exchanged my qualifications.

BG5CYY

VR2WBZ I understand that my intention to take the FCC exam in November of last year was also due to the fact that I couldn't set up a radio station domestically because I am underage.
