There are many ways to enjoy amateur radio, whatever your age, skills and interests.

Amateur radio offers you the opportunity to experiment with wireless communications technology. There’s always the chance to learn something new and challenge yourself. You don’t need to spend much on equipment (unless you want to!).

Some people develop their interest by trying different aspects of the hobby, others choose to progress through the licence levels and explore amateur radio in that way.

Radio amateurs identify themselves using unique call signs. There is no status on the air and everyone you contact is an equal, whatever their level of experience.
