Australian Foundation Licence Manual - Supplement Released

September 2019 the ACMA announced wide-ranging amendments to the conditions for the amateur Foundation licence, including the removal of prior restrictions on the use of digital modes for radio communication, such as DMR.

The amendments increase the flexibility, utility, and relevance of the Foundation licence by removing unnecessary restrictions while balancing the risk of interference to other radio spectrum users.

Since 2005 the Foundation Licence Manual (now in its third revision) has been the prime study resource for those wishing to gain a Foundation licence in Australia.

The WIA Foundation Manual publication team has just released a supplement to reflect the new Licence Conditions.

The supplement is available for download from the WIA website on - http://www.wia.org.au/licenses/foundation/about/
