Useful practical skills for new licensees

Would you like to learn some useful practical skills to help you make the most of your licence?

Whether you’re a new Foundation, Intermediate or Full licence holder, the RSGB has created this series of six videos that introduce you to some of the most common amateur radio construction skills you will need.

The videos get more detailed through the series, with a growing level of skill required.

A big thank you to Dominic, M0BLF; Rob, M0VFC and ESRG member Greg, M0ODZ who helped to create these videos as part of our  ‘Get on the air to care’ campaign to support radio amateurs during lockdown.

Thanks also to Henry-James, M7HJR; Lee, M7MUT; Jenny, M6JUT; and Dave, M7WUT who volunteered to learn the skills via remote teaching.
