SARL launches updated Amateur Radio study guide

The South African Radio League is this week launching an updated RAE Study Guide that is fully compliant with the Harmonised Amateur Radio Examination Certificate (HAREC) syllabus and International Standards (ISO).

The new guide includes a new chapter on digital communication. Students studying for the class A radio amateur examination are advised to download the new study guide to ensure that they are fully prepared for the May examination. Lecturers should take note of the chapter on digital communication and familiarise themselves with the additional study material.

From the May RAE, the examination paper will include a formulae page which will assist students in answering questions requiring calculation. This means that students do not have to memorise all the formulae but must be able to select the right formula to answer the question and be able to use more than one formula for some questions.

The SARL Study Guide for the class A RAE can be downloaded from www.sarl.org.za free of charge from early next week.

The new guide is based on the original guide produced by Andrew Roos with input from many radio amateurs.

The Council of the SARL would like to thank all contributors for their input, George Honiball, ZS6NE, for ensuring that the guide is ISO compliant and Colin de Villiers, ZS6COL, for putting it all together. Your dedication to Amateur Radio is very much appreciated.
