Comparative rarity of Indian hams
editIs the figure 16,000 correct? Seems rather low for India with a population of 1.2 billion. --Wtshymanski (talk) 03:57, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
Main Page appearance
editHello! This is a note to let the main editors of the article List of amateur radio frequency bands in India know that it will be appearing as the main page featured list on March 25, 2013. You can view the TFL blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured list/March 25, 2013. If you think it is necessary to change the main date, you can request it with the featured list directors The Rambling Man (talk · contribs), Dabomb87 (talk · contribs) or Giants2008 (talk · contribs), or at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured list. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions of the suggested formatting. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad.

Amateur radio frequency bands in India are used by over 16,000 licenced users of amateur radio. Five categories of licences are granted by the Wireless and Planning and Coordination Wing (WPC), a branch of the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology. In addition, the WPC allocates frequency spectrum in India. To obtain a licence in the first four categories, candidates must pass the Amateur Station Operator's Certificate examination conducted by the WPC. This exam is held monthly in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai, every two months in Ahmedabad, Nagpur and Hyderabad, and every four months in some smaller cities. After passing the examination, the candidate must clear a police interview. Each licence category has certain privileges allotted to it, including the allotment of frequencies, output power, and the emission modes.

editI think this was placed there because it was relevant to the content there, but maybe it should be moved down? Mrfoogles (talk) 15:16, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
