Autumn Foundation Course on Track

October 15, 2009

Future Radio Hams

This is our second week at the Dearne Renaissance Centre in Bolton-upon-Dearne teaching the Foundation Course.

Everything is going to plan and folks have really got to know each other and settle in to listening and studying. Here’s a shot of 3 cheeky monkeys that are really picking this stuff up faster than we ever did!

The course is intended to provide an exciting introduction to the hobby while requiring an acceptable minimum level of skill and experience. At the end of it, you have the chance to take your foundation exam and become a licensed radio operator.

We have just a few places left and it’s still not too late to join in. All ages are welcome. We have adults studying it too but they are camera shy.

Join us from 4.30pm – 5.30 pm every Thursday at the Dearne Renaissance Centre, Priory Road, Bolton-upon-Dearne, Rotherham, S63 8AE

If you’d like to attend please call 01709 894082 to join in the fun!

Ham radio and D-Star to get boost from TV sitcom

The ABC Television series, “Last Man Standing” is about Mike Baxter (played by Tim Allen), a marketing executive for “Outdoor Man,” a fictitious sporting goods store in Colorado. Mike, is a “man’s man” and involved in all kinds of outdoor activities including hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, boating. Likewise, Mike (and Tim) has a love for all the electronics that go with these activities. Among Mike’s interests is Amateur Radio (Ham Radio). Tim's character (Mike Baxter), is KA0XTT. This is a call sign the show cleared for use on air. "XTT" is a bit of a private joke as Tim's character name on "Home Improvement" was Tim Taylor. So, ex T. T. In the show’s radio inventory is currently an ICOM IC-9100 HF radio, an IC-92AD dual band, hand-held, a Heil PR-781microphone, a Daiwa CN-801HP SWR/Power meter a Comet CAA-500 antenna analyzer and a Iambic CW Paddle.
