Basic Level Privileges

In Canada, the Basic Qualification Examination is made of 100 questions (multiple choice answers). It usually takes less than one hour to complete. The pass mark is 70%.

Basic qualification allows access to all amateur bands above 30 MHz.

However, Basic With Honors (a score of 80% or more) also allows access to all amateur bands below 30 MHz!
