---------------------------------
EMDRC Foundation Course
---------------------------------
If you have heard about Amateur Radio and would like to get involved in the
hobby and on the air with a Foundation Licence and you are free on Saturday
the 20th of April, then you may want to consider being part of our next
EMDRC Foundation Course.
As mentioned above, the course will be run on Saturday the 20th of April,
with the assessments taking place on the morning of Sunday the 21st of
April.
The course will be held at the EMDRC Clubrooms which are located at 13a
McCubbin Street Burwood. For those not familiar with the area, it's location
is very close to the RSPCA on Burwood Highway, ideal if you plan on coming
by public transport. If you are coming by car, there is plenty of parking
available onsite. To arrive at the clubrooms, simply drive west down
McCubbin street and look for the lane way on your left hand side, you will
find the clubrooms (Scout Hall) at the bottom of the lane way.
This course is free to club members. EMDRC club membership is $35 and there
is a $10 joining fee, we would encourage you to become a member, doing so
you will receive all the benefits of club membership as well as being able
to doing the training courses for free. If you choose not to become a club
member, that is OK, there is no pressure, a simple $35 per head will cover
costs.
The course instructors will be myself Robert Broomhead VK3DN and Damian
Ayers VK3KQ.
The Sunday morning the assessments will be run by myself with Keith VK3FT
and assistance from other assessors..
The training program will be run as follows...
-=- Saturday the 20th of April -=-
On the Saturday (the training course day) plan for an 8:30am arrival as we
will start the course at 9:00am Morning and afternoon tea and coffee,
biscuits are included and we will be finished the training day by 5:00pm.
Lunch will be cold meat and salad rolls purchased from the Woolworths
supermarket over the road. If you would prefer to bring you own lunch, then
that is ok, just let me know.
You will need to bring with you a copy of the foundation manual,
http://www.wia.org.au/licences/found...al/alternately we
can sell you one on the day, we have copies for sale at the radio club,
perhaps let us know in advance so we can make sure we have sufficient stock.
-=- Sunday the 21st ofApril -=-
On the Sunday morning (assessment day) again plan a 8:30 arrival for a
9:00am start, morning tea and coffee will be provided and on assessment day
we will aim to be finished by mid day.
You will need to bring a drivers licence or passport or some other form of
identification plus a passport size photograph. It's most important that you
remember to bring a passport size photograph, the required size is 35mm by
45mm in size, full colour, head and shoulders. Many Chemists and Australia
Post stores have facilities for taking passport photos, please make sure
you have this with you on Friday morning.
Depending on your age the Foundation Assessment pack will be $70 (adult) or
$35 if you are under the age of 18 years.
The callsign allocation fee is $5 for next available callsign -or- The
callsign allocation fee is $20.00 for a callsign of your choice.
The current ACMA licence fee is $72
So if you add all that up that is the total fee for the assessment and
licence, a cheque for all the above can be made out to the Wireless
Institute Of Australia who manage the assessment process and submission of
licence applications to the ACMA.
That covers most of the detail.
For each course participant we will need your home address details and
contact phone number (mobile if possible) If you have any questions or
would like to give myself a call at any stage my contact number is 0403 066
686
Could you please confirm with me by sending an email to
[email protected] if you plan to attend the course.
Kind regards
