I studied with you for my Foundation Exam about 18 months ago and achieved my Full Licence a couple of moths ago. Thank you very much for your very generous help and guidance. 73 Pete
Hi Pete. Well, I've said it before, elsewhere, but must say it again. What a wonderfully clear and simple course you have put together for us "newbies". It all makes sense too. Power to Essex Ham Radio Club. Thank you.
1:30 "You cannot operate from an aircraft". According to Ofcom's "General notice of decision to vary amateur radio licences" (21 February 2024) they are now "Allowing low power airborne use in some frequency bands". Similarly, the max power is now 25w for Foundation licenses. I'm therefore curious if the exam now reflects such updates or we have to learn the "old way" if they haven't?
Can you go straight for the full licence without taking the first two? I'm 65 & learned Morse code at the age of 5. I've been involved in electronics since 1991 & have been an electrician since 1982. I've taken both the first two exams as mocks & passed both without studying. I'd obviously have to study for the full licence. I'm just wondering if I can just go for that directly. Thanks. 😊👍
We cover the G callsign range in Module 6 of the licence conditions module and video. This is a revision video covering the highlights, so by default, doesn’t cover everything that’s on the course
I was listening a ham earlier that said that there is a recent update for power output via email. Does this affect the maximum power level for foundation license in excess of 10W?

Watched this very helpful video an hour before my exam. I highly recommend anyone to do the same.
Glad it helped!

There is a syllabus change in the works. Expected to be in place for exams on or after 1st Sept 2024. Until them, we are on the old syllabus and rules

There are some licence changes in the pipeline. This video is valid for exams before 1st September 2024
My 8 year old son is interesting to do ham course he knows basic electronic. How i go about the course. Thanks
This is covered at the end of the video, from around 28:30
Is there an Intermediate version of this?
Not that we’ve produced, but the Cornish Amateur Radio channel has loads of Intermediate videos that might be worth a look.
Many Thanks for the advice. It's much appreciated. @@EssexhamUk
