Also in GB2RS this week…

Amateur Radio Digital Communications (ARDC) is a private foundation that exists to support amateur radio and digital communication science and technology. It has two standing committees for which it seeks volunteers each year: the Technical Advisory Committee and the Grants Advisory Committee. Applications should be received by 12 November 2022. International applications are welcome. Details of how to apply can be found on the News and Updates page on the ARDC website.

The Bath-based Distance Learning team has helped over 1,000 students to pass UK amateur radio exams, with pass rates consistently above the national average. Their next course will be for Intermediate level and it will run from January to May 2023. The deadline for applications is 7 December 2022. There will be no charge for the training but students will need to provide their own textbook, scientific calculator, electronic parts and tool kit. As well as weekly work packages via a virtual classroom, there will be weekly online tutorials, revision quizzes and lots of practical exercises to bring the theory to life. Students will also have access to one of the remote tutors who will provide feedback and additional guidance when required. As part of the application process, there will be some pre-course work to ensure students are able to use the online learning systems and ensure they are ready to study in January. To find out more and receive course application details, email Team Leader Steve, G0FUW on g0fuw@bbdl.org.uk. The team will also run a Full Licence course, which will start in August 2023, but a further announcement will be made when that course is ready for enrolment.
