Klagenfurt, 6–7 March 2026 — It’s official: every single participant of this year’s exam preparation course by Kärnten Funkt has passed the amateur radio exam. This means the team around Andre OE8ASR has achieved a 100% pass rate for the third consecutive time — a remarkable accomplishment in Austrian amateur radio.
Perfect Preparation Pays Off
The Austrian amateur radio exam is no walk in the park — candidates must demonstrate solid knowledge of technology, operating procedures and regulations. But the Kärnten Funkt students were excellently prepared. The team offers a structured course with individual mentoring all the way to exam day. The result speaks for itself: three years, three exams, three times 100% passed.
The Exam in Klagenfurt
This year’s exam took place on 6 and 7 March 2026 in Klagenfurt. The telecommunications authority administered the tests, and the candidates showed solid knowledge across all exam sections. Whether Class 1, 3 or 4 — every single candidate passed.
