Welcome to FreddoFrog.net / org
Welcome to freddofrog.net and introducing freddofrog.org.
Guidance on Amateur Radio training and assessments (Foundation, Standard or Advanced) from Steve VK3VM / VK3SIR as an Assessor (based in Warrnambool, Victoria) should be directed to vk3vm @ hotmail.com.
There are no ego-based motives or clubs pushed - although ARV (resources) and ALARA (Ladies and families) are supported.
My aim is to develop, support and grow numerically ethical, community-minded Amateurs Operators.

CONTENT FOR FOUNDATION, STANDARD AND ADVANCED ASSESSMENTS HAS NOT CHANGED.
|
- FOUNDATION - Use the Foundation Manual; guidance from an experienced
trainer is essential.
- STANDARD AND ADVANCED - Use the Radio and Electronics School Resources as a study base. The "Swainston" text is useful for questions and diagrams but too advanced for most. Avoid RSGB & ARRL Handbooks until Advanced licensed.
- On-air experience and good practical skills (fault finding, making antennas) is mandatory for ADVANCED candidates.
- Holding a STANDARD licence before attempting ADVANCED assessment is highly recommended.
- No question is stupid - yet lots of myths exist. Ask an Assessor or competent Amateur if you need assistance.
Questions re AR licensing should be directed to the University of Tasmania (AMC) or ACMA
