The entry level Foundation License continues to be the most popular way of getting into amateur radio.

It is attracting people who have had some previous hobby radio communications interest (CB, 4WD, Scanner Listener) and others who are attracted to ham radio for the first time.

Amateur Radio is an interesting and stimulating hobby enjoyed by millions worldwide.

The entry level license can be gained with a modest amount of study, often over a couple of weekends of Training including the Examination.

Further study can lead to a Standard License or an Advanced License opening up greater opportunities through more bands, and more transmission modes.

Gone too is the requirement to gain proficiency in Morse code for HF operation. The decision to make the move to amateur radio is really easy.

Do something different this year -  became an active radio amateur.
