Question
Which of the following is a valid Technician class call sign format?
Answer Options
- A) KF1XXX
- B) KA1X
- C) W1XX
- D) All these choices are correct
Correct Answer: A
Explanation
FCC call signs are categorized into different formats based on the number of letters before and after the single region number (1-9). The call sign format currently issued to new Technician class licensees is a 2-by-3 format (two letters, one number, three letters).
An example of this is KF1XXX. The formats KA1X (1x2) and W1XX (2x2) are typically reserved for higher classes (General or Extra) and would only be available to a Technician if they applied for them as a vanity call sign and had previously held one of those formats under the older rules.
