Six pass Club's Intermediate Exam to make it 100%

All six students passed the Club’s first Intermediate Examination on Tuesday 22nd January following an intensive course held over two weekends.

Wythall Radio Club offers its heartiest congratulations to:
Colin M3OFW (now 2E0GCT)   Neil M3POV (now 2E0TUX)
Mel M3OFJ (now 2E0MAJ)       Jim M3JPP (now 2E0BLP)
Tim M3SDE (now 2E0SDE)      James M3BAV (now 2E0CAN)

The Intermediate course was the first one held since the club received its Lottery Awards for All Grant which helped pay for the teaching materials and practical work.

In addition to the training co-ordination work done by Chris G0EYO, other club members assisted in the course and examination under the direction of Lead Instructor Chris G6KMQ. The club would like to thank Peter G4LWF, David G0ICJ, Martin G8VXX, Tom G3PQP, Vaughan M0VRR and Mike G4VPD for their help and time. This is what a radio club is all about; giving one’s time freely to help others achieve their own goals, whether it is passing an examination, building an antenna, or demonstrating amateur radio to the public at a special event station.

Four of the six have already indicated that they want to go on for their Advanced Certificate for the 14 week course will start at Wythall on 19th February (see training pages for details).

The club is looking for others to join this course and membership of the Wythall Radio Club is not compulsory. We are also taking names for a Foundation course which we hope to start soon.
