Licence Courses
New Foundation course to run in September '09!
Tony, G4LDL, is organising a foundation course with the following probable dates:
Saturday 7th November - likely 09.00 to around 17.00
Monday 16th November - likely 19.00 to 21.30
Saturday 21st November - likely 09.00 to around 16.00
Venue to be announced. Please contact Tony as below if you are interested.
The club has run several courses in the past, with almost 100% pass rates.
Several 'supervisory' intermediate courses have been run where the candidates have studied for themselves but were guided by the instructors, who also carried out the practical assesments.
If you are interested in taking your exams, please contact:

Foundation 'follow-up' sessions at the club
Recognizing the need to channel M3's enthusiasm having acquired their licences, the club intends to run regular sessions where a couple of more experienced hands will answer any questions, and possibly run some 'mini-talks/practical demonstrations' about a particular aspect of the hobby.
In the first session on 6th Oct, topics discussed were planning issues, PME, antenna siting and general rig usage issues.
The following are useful learning resources:
