General Class License

A General Class License is a type of amateur radio license that allows individuals to operate on a wide range of radio frequencies, including those used for international communication. It requires passing a more comprehensive exam than the entry-level Technician license but not as advanced as the Amateur Extra license. With a General license, operators can make longer-distance contacts, participate in emergency communications, and experiment with various radio technologies. It’s intended for enthusiasts who want greater flexibility and capability in their amateur radio activities, supporting both technical learning and community service.
