After seeing a dip in 2021, Bengaluru’s interest in amateur radio has picked up again, thanks to online classes.

In 2021, only 60 candidates were from Bengaluru. Courtesy Covid, the Indian Institute of Hams was not able to conduct its offline examinations. In 2022, roughly 181 candidates are expected to sit for the exams this month.

People didn’t have to travel long distances or lose hours in traffic to cater to their interests,” said S Sathyapal VU2FI, director, Indian Institute of HAMs.
