Intermediate Course

Hi to all our Members.  If you would like to take your Intermediate Licence,SARC will be running a course starting in February. All you need to do is see Carol (2E0CJH ),our membership security on the door and put your name on the list so that we can see the people that would like to attend the course. This will also be announced at the Club next Monday night by your Chairman.

Congratulations !

Congratulations to our newest FL licensee passes,Adam Jones M6BGJ and Lewis Allcock M6LSA,both of whom took the exam at the club HQ just a weekend and a half ago. It’s good to see more young people take up Amateur Radio as its continued existence will depend on them,long after the rest of us Old Timers have gone to the “Big Dxpedition in the Sky”! Adam is in his 20s while Lewis is 14 years old.

The club wishes both these new radio amateurs many years of enjoyment in what must be the world’s greatest hobby. Do give them a call when you hear them on the air.

Your exam paper is marked on the spot by the invigilator straight after the exam so there is no long wait to know whether you have passed or not.

For the Foundation licence course exam there is a fee of £27.50
