HAREC exams at HAMEXPO show 12 October 2019

/

A HAREC certificate allows you to apply for the highest class of amateur licence in any CEPT country. There's an opportunity to take a 40 question HAREC exam at the HAMEXPO show in Le Mans Oct. 12

The 1-hour single multiple-choice paper is the equivalent of doing the UK Foundation, Intermediate, and Advanced exams but there's less than a third of the questions and no Practical Assessments are required.

Ofcom will issue a Full M0 licence to anyone passing and getting a HAREC certificate. The only drawback with the exam is that the questions are in French.

ICQPodcast to Attend RSGB HF Convention

/

The RSGB 2019 Convention takes place in Milton Keynes from 11 to 13 October 2019.

The ICQ Amateur / Ham Radio Podcast will be presenting a discussion on Sunday 13th October 2019.

“Now that we are well and truly in the 21st century are radio clubs as relevant as they were 60 years ago? Many clubs are suffering from declining membership numbers, others are close to closing. Successful clubs seem to have that winning formula. In modern times groups of like-minded amateurs have bonded together to enjoy our hobby successfully without the club infrastructure. Is it time to rewrite the rule book?

We invite the audience to interact with the panel to discuss this problem. Discussion and debate to understand our options in a new era to keep our hobby alive.”
