Fun – Multi-topic – 01

Welcome to the Fun - Multi-topic - 01 quiz.

This is a 'fun' quiz meaning it is intended to both refresh your memory and to a limited degree, prepare you for the Ham Tournament Equinox series.

Note that there are 10 questions.

There are two parallel grading schemes as follows.

Difficulty Points Grading

Some answers are worth more than one point to account for difficulty. Some questions may have two or more correct answers (marked as such) with each answer worth either one point, or a different number of points, again, based on difficulty.

Correct / Incorrect Grading

Each answer, whether it be worth one point or more points, is marked as correct or incorrect. The total number of correct answers is marked out of the possible maximum number of correct answers. So if there was only one question in the quiz and that question had two possible correct answers, if you chose only one of them, you would score 1 out of 2.

Callsign and Email

If you are registered (you can register here) your callsign will be displayed on the leaderboard. If you are not registered, your results will appear but without your callsign – unregistered results will appear in the leaderboards with the callsign 'none'.

Entering your email allows you to receive your results.
