For which license classes are new licenses currently available from the FCC?

The correct response indicates that new licenses are currently available only for the Technician, General, and Amateur Extra classes from the FCC. This aligns with the current licensing structure for amateur radio operators.

The Technician class is the entry-level license, allowing operators to get started in amateur radio with access to certain bands and modes. The General class license expands operational privileges to additional bands and modes, providing greater opportunities for amateur radio communication. The Amateur Extra class represents the highest level of licensing and grants the broadest privileges in terms of frequency bands and operating modes available to amateur operators.

In contrast, the Novice and Technician Plus classes are no longer offered as options for new licenses. The Novice license, which once served as an introductory license, has been phased out, and Technician Plus was a variant that included CW (Morse code) privileges but is also not available for new applicants. Therefore, the current licensing structure recognizes only the Technician, General, and Amateur Extra classes as valid for new license issuance.
