Calling CQ - Become a Radio Amateur
That is the title of the Wireless Institute of Australia's new promotional
brochure. Its theme is that 'Amateur radio is the fascinating new way
to communicate for everyone.'
This colourful 12-panel convenient DL format publication provides information
about who are radio amateurs and their multi-faceted world-wide hobby.
It gives snapshots of how it can be enjoyed at home, while caravanning
or four wheel driving, during interstate and overseas travel, or while
yachting or boating.
The educational benefits of amateur radio are covered with references
to it being in schools and increasingly part of organised youth activities.
Australia needs more scientists, engineers and technicians. "Calling
CQ" advises that 'developing an interest in amateur radio can lead
to a rewarding career in science and technology.'
Home-brewing is not forgotten. Mention is made that radio amateurs often
enjoy the challenges of building or constructing things, such as a simple
wire antenna through to software or digital technique applications.
It provides information on how to contact a local radio club to access
amateur licence training courses.
"Calling CQ" is an ideal tool for
individual radio amateurs or clubs to promote amateur radio.
