Feb 2011 An excellent start with 7 exam successes

This is our forth successful year of Amateur Radio Exam courses, covering Foundation, Intermediate and Advanced subjects.

Our first foundation course of the year culminated with some of our best exam results to date.  All 7 candidates passed with good to excellent marks, thanks to excellent coaching / teaching and efforts of the students.

Farnborough and District Radio Society's  successful end to 2010

On the 4th of December 3 Cadets joined 7 other candidates taking the Intermediate Exam. All passed achieving some of the highest marks to date.

F&DRS, working together with 13 Cadets from 1075 (Camberley) Sqn Air Training Corps. (CO Matt Partridge), ran a Foundation Course.  The Lead instructor was Julian M0XPJ, Invigilator Colin G8BCO, with significant support from the Farnborough club members. On the 20th of November the Cadets and one Civilian Instructor from the ATC sat the Foundation exam. Ten obtained very high pass marks. Planning for 2011 is well underway with 4 candidates looking to take their Foundation exam in January and some 20+ Air Cadets keen to follow the first group early in the coming year.

The Amateur Radio Foundation course is recognised by the Air Training Corps as an official module in their detailed Communicator Badge training.  1075 Squadron (Camberley) is using the Foundation Exam as a means of demonstrating operational proficiency and technical competence.  They have a comms and radio room at their HQ with HF capability, so look out for them in competitions.  F&DRS see this association as a means of generating future active local hams.
