DESCRIPTION

       hamexam presents questions in random order from the selected question pool, and terminates when all questions have been answered correctly.

       In normal usage, one of the following options should be specified:

	      t Element 2, the Technician Class pool. This is the entry-level license.

	      g Element 3, the General Class pool (element 2 is also required).

	      e Element 4, the Extra Class pool (elements 2 and 3 are also required).

	      q The question pool is selected interactively.
