UK Amateur Radio Full Licence Study Group

/

The Online Amateur Radio Community (OARC) hosts a full licence study group within its community that is open to all

“We are an informal group, very much like a book club. We set about a chapter a week to read and then gather together on a Wednesday at 7:30 pm for an hour to chat about any issues/provide support as required. Useful links are also added into the study group folder that may be helpful. We read a different chapter each week.

This is not a training course, but a study opportunity with like-minded individuals with a common goal.”

Low-Band Titan John Devoldere, ON4UN, SK

/

A giant in the field of low-band DXing and contesting, John Devoldere, ON4UN/AA4OI, of Merelbeke, Belgium, died on 9th November 2020. An ARRL Life member, he was 79 and had been in failing health. In addition to his enthusiasm for operating, Devoldere may be best known as the author of the popular book ON4UN’s Low-Band DXing, published by ARRL, as well as other books, including Ethics and Operating Procedures for the Radio Amateur, which he co-authored with Mark Demeuleneere, ON4WW. The book is hosted on the International Amateur Radio Union (IARU) Region 1 website.

“Ham radio, and especially low-band DXing, were my father’s lifelong passions and always had a strong presence in our house. Though I don’t have a call sign, I very much feel a part of the big radio family and always will.”
