CARS May-June Foundation CourseThe Chelmsford Amateur Radio Society will be running another evening Amateur Radio Foundation course starting Thursday 25th May. The course, held at Danbury Village Hall, is six weeks of practical and theory, but the view from previous course attendees, is that it's not just boring theory but a whole load of fun as well. Learning about radio communications then complimenting what you have been taught by using the radio works well for most people and it's easier to take all the information in. Radio Amateurs communicate all over the world. All of the astronauts currently onboard the International Space Station are licenced Radio Amateurs and during their spare time they talk to other Radio Amateurs back on earth. There is a special thrill in talking to an astronaut out in space! To do all this it is necessary to obtain an amateur transmitting licence. These licences are only issued to those who can prove that they are able to install, maintain and operate their equipment properly and therefore don’t cause a nuisance to other radio users world wide. Fortunately it is not difficult to obtain a licence, and gaining the licence gives a real feeling of achievement, apart from the fact that you will know more about radio and its technology.
Places are limited so advanced booking is essential. Those interested
in attending should contact the CARS Training Manager Clive Ward G1EUC.
