Which of the following is a valid Group D call sign format for Technician class?

  1. AKF1XXX
  2. BKA1X
  3. CW1XX
  4. DAll these choices are correct
Why Sequential call signs are handed out in groups by license class. Group D, the format issued to new Technician and General licensees, is the 2x3 pattern: a two-letter prefix, one digit, then a three-letter suffix, as in KF1XXX. Shorter formats belong to higher groups, and today the only way a Technician gets one of those is through the vanity call sign system.
Watch out KA1X (2x1) and W1XX (1x2) are both Group A formats, reserved for Amateur Extra class in the sequential system, so neither is a valid Group D assignment.
Longest call = lowest group. Group D is 2x3, the most letters; Extra gets the short 1x2 and 2x1 calls.
