Training
The Wireless
Institute of Australia has produced an easy to read training
manual titled "Your Entry Into Amateur Radio", ideal
for the people wishing to obtain their foundation radio licence.
Everything you need to know to obtain your first licence is
contained within this one easy to read book. Your Entry Into
Amateur Radio is available for just $29.50 including postage.
The Gympie Communications & Electronics Group Inc. also
has loan copies of this book available.
All
required information is provided in the training manual including
a basic knowledge of electrical safety, a basic knowledge
or radio communications and importantly the operating procedures
of an amateur radio station.
For
those starting with little or no prior knowledge of radio
communications, the study required to obtain the foundation
licence will likely take you between eight and twelve hours.
Once you feel you are ready, you can sit an assessment with
an ACMA registered assessor. With a positive result your licence
application can be mailed to the ACMA and within a short time you will be
up on the air with your own call sign.
