 WRAA are pleased to announce that we will commence the Intermediate Licence training course on 9th September, start time will be 8pm in our clubroom. The course will be delivered over several weeks in order for everyone to take on board the learning required for this next stage of your amateur licence. Initially we will be running each course section during the 2nd Tuesday WRAA meeting in the separate training room. The course will end with a multiple choice examination and the practical assessments are assessed during the course. A significant part of the project and all of the other practical tasks must be completed at the club so that it can be demonstrated to be your own work. Each candidate is assessed on their practical abilities such as:- 1. Construct your own simple DC circuit.
2. Measure voltages, currents and resistance (equipment provided)
3. Demonstrate the operation of diodes and transistors (equipment provided)
4. Make your own BNC to PL259 adaptor cable
5. Make your own 13A to IEC mains cable
6. Calibrate a Variable Frequency Oscillator (provided)
7. Build your own radio related project A major part of the course is to build the project, you can choose your own project, which can be from a kit, or from your own or someone else’s design . The meeting planned for 9th September is the registration evening and all candidates will be given the information they need in order to build your project. If required projects can be supplied by the WRAA at a cost if required, there are a choice of projects, however all parts for items 1 – 5 are included in whichever project is selected by the candidate. Prices for these projects will be advised on the registration night. The fee for the Intermediate Licence Course is £55, this includes the examination fee and the course fee (to cover overheads), it does not include any books or construction kits. This fee will be collected on the night of 9th September, and cheques should be made out to Worcester Radio Amateurs Association.
