License offered in Metzetta for radio amateurs include Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, Special and Experimental. For most citizens only the first three are desired. Novice license holders generally go on to acquire better licenses to access more bands and use higher outputs; at the novice level no more than 5 Watts can be used for broadcasting. This rises to 20W at Intermediate and 50W for Advanced. Experimental Licenses allow access to frequencies not usually associated with amateur radio, including microwave bands. Morse code is required knowledge for Advanced License Examinations but has not been required for Novice users since the early 2000's. | License offered in Metzetta for radio amateurs include Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, Special and Experimental.

It is anticipated that as the number of radio amateurs grows, as yet unassigned codes may need to be opened for very populous areas such as [[Galko]]. Overseas territories are assigned codes even if they have no permanent residents (e.g. staff of the [[Polar World Archive]], who use prefix MZ42). | It is anticipated that as the number of radio amateurs grows, as yet unassigned codes may need to be opened for very populous areas such as [[Galko]].
