Foundation
Licence Training
Course.
The New way into Amateur Radio as a
licensed operator is by taking a Foundation training course.
The course runs over five consecutive Saturday mornings, or a weekday evening if that is more convenient.
The course consists of a number of fundamental theories and techniques, sufficient to ensure that you have an appreciation for the hobby. There is NO heavy theory! Also there are a number of practical aspects such as how to tune an antenna, actually having several contacts on the short wave bands with real radio amateurs and a very brief introduction to the world of Morse code.
If you would like to participate in a foundation course, or receive further information please email Phil Taylor at the address below so that a course can be scheduled.
