Advice on Amateur Radio Training and Assessments (Foundation, Standard or Advanced) from Steve VK3VM / VK3SIR as an Assessor (based in Oakleigh, Victoria) should be directed to vk3vm @ hotmail.com.
There are no egocentric motives or club politics - although ARV (resources) and ALARA (Ladies and families) are supported. We must develop, support and grow the numbers of ethical, community-minded Amateur Radio Operators.
| Amateur Radio Licenses: Guidance |
- FOUNDATION - Use the Foundation Manual and/or RES Program; 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.
- Lots of myths exist: No question is too stupid. Ask a competent Amateur if you need assistance.
AR licensing queries should be directed to the ACMA or your local Amateur Radio Club.
