For the past three years, our foundation has been working intensively to develop the best possible regulation on amateur radio service permits together with the Office of Electronic Communications (UKE) and the Ministry of Digital Affairs.

It has been a long process: consultations, meetings, analyses, and many substantive comments. A significant portion of our proposals has been reflected in the draft, although not all of them were adopted.

Even so, we are not giving up — we will continue to advocate for solutions that genuinely support the amateur radio community and the development of modern radio technologies in Poland.

The full legislative process can be followed on the Government Legislation Centre website:

Most likely, the final version of the regulation, published on January 26, is available here:

Thank you to everyone who supported our efforts during this time, submitted comments, and took part in the consultations. This is a shared matter for the entire community.

@hskrk Thanks, I really love this course - and its one of main reasons (outside of friend playing in his area) I started having fun with SDR and LoRa, so playing with radio on "listen only" or "available for n00b" spaces.
But even for such easy stuff its great to listen about basics to understand how it works.

@wikiyu It’s quite difficult to summarize everything briefly, but here is a quick overview:

Removal of the minimum age requirement to take the exam

50% exam fee reduction for candidates under 18

Addition of the WARC bands to Category 3

Simplification of band and power limits (instead of the previously proposed split of ≤30 MHz: 750 W and >30 MHz: 250 W, with 500 W for SSB, the final version introduces a uniform 500 W limit)

Minor adjustments to scoring and passing thresholds

@wikiyu

Removal of the “practical” exam component

Introduction of a unified national question pool instead of separate question sets prepared by individual regional offices

Removal of the requirement to know the band plan (this does not apply to KTPCz)

Removal of the provision requiring the exam to be conducted in Polish

Of course, many organizations and individual contributors took part in the consultation process.
