SYRG would like to congratulate M6CBD, M6LUE & M6BFC on passing their Foundation Licence exams.
With a little hard work and determination you have all done very well and made us all proud of your efforts. Now you have your tickets, we are sure that you will use them wisely to learn more about the great hobby of radio and make many new friends. Well done.
These three successful candidates are just a few that passed the Autumn foundation course provided by SYRG at the Dearne Renaissance Centre in Bolton-upon-Dearne. It is expected that other foundation courses will take place next year in 2010.
Keep visiting the South Yorkshire Repeater Group web site to find out when they are happening – and you too can be involved in the exciting world of radio and digital communications!

International Exhibition for Radio Amateurs

Amateur radio is a pastime that brings people together, as this year’s 34th annual HAM RADIO show clearly demonstrated. The three-day event at the Friedrichshafen convention centre attracted 17,400 amateur radio enthusiasts from around the world. The 60th Lake Constance meeting of the German Amateur Radio Club (Deutsche Amateur-Radio-Clubs e. V. DARC) was also held during the event.
SYRG members attended last year as they have for the last number of years, it really is a great place to see many aspects of our splendid hobby on display. We look forward to visiting again in 2010 from the 25th to the 27th of June.
