Aged 26 or under? Love amateur radio or want to find out more about it? This page is a great place to start!

Amateur radio is a great way to explore STEM subjects, and an amateur radio licence is an industry-recognised qualification that will help you if you choose a career in the Science, Technology and Engineering sectors.

Here are just a few things that we’ve got on at the moment…
