GBARC Amateur Radio Courses

The hobby of Amateur Radio is the personal, not-for-profit use of shortwave radio equipment for communication and technical training.
Radio “Hams” talk across town and across the world.

 

Amateur Radio is also a hobby of experimentation. Our course provides a basis for further personal study and discovery. Subjects are examined at a concept or system level, rather than at a detailed circuit analysis level and the course includes plenty of hands on training so you can set up and operate your own radio station.

 

As a result anyone can pass a simple proficiency test and become a radio amateur, regardless of age or previous technical background.  We have been running courses for many years and have had people of all ages and walks of life successfully pass the Industry Canada exam.

 

Our course this year will be on the 3rd and 10th of May 2008.
