What Is Amateur Radio ?
You might have heard the term ‘ham radio’ another name for Amateur Radio enthusiasts.
It’s a hobby or interest for anyone experimenting with radio allowing contact over the airwaves (depending on equipment and weather conditions!) to anywhere in the world and even the International Space Station.
What can you do?
Communicate with other amateurs locally or around the world.
Experiment with electronics, aerials, receivers and transmitters.
You can connect radios to your computer and the internet.
Use mobile transceivers and hand-held devices whilst on the move.
Take part in contests, field events, data, television, satellites, CW (morse code), emergency communications and a lot more!
There are lots of clubs, many offering training courses to get you started.
Want to know more? Contact our club using the email above.
Getting started….
There are three levels of licence Foundation, Intermediate, and Full. The licences are granted after passing an online examination, each giving incrementally you the right to transmit on more bands with more power.
The club can arrange written exams and/or appropriate tuition on site or tuition only if you wish to do exams on line.
