General Class Element 3 Question Pool Errata Released

The NCVEC Question Pool Committee (QPC) has released the latest errata
for the 2023 - 2027 General Element 3 question pool, which goes into
effect on July 1, 2023. Nine questions were modified (G1B01, G1C01,
G1C02, G5C02, G7C10, G9B05, G9C09, G9D09, and G9D10) and two questions
(G9C06 and G9D13) were withdrawn from use.

The pool is available as a Microsoft Word document and PDF. These changes
are reflected in the new General Pool download file dated February 1,
2023.

New General Examinations will take effect for exam sessions on July 1,
2023.

The newly revised General pool must be used starting July 1, 2023. VECs
and VEs will have new test designs available starting on that date.
Previously supplied versions of ARRL VEC General-class exam booklets
(2019 series) and computer-generated General-class exams from the 2019
question pool are valid until midnight on June 30, 2023. The ARRL VEC
will supply its officially appointed, field-stocked VE teams with new
General exam booklet designs around mid-June.

FCC and ARRL Headquarters will be Closed on Monday, February 20

The FCC and ARRL Headquarters will be closed on Monday, February 20,
2023, for Presidents' Day and will reopen on Tuesday, February 21, at
8 AM EST. Exam sessions and amateur applications will not be processed
by the FCC on Monday.
