[suws-members] Radio exam coming up - send me your application forms ASAP!

[kennedy h. (hk1g10)]

Hi everyone,

Just a reminder about the exam application deadline for the 6th May radio exams. Whilst the RSGB form submission and exam payment deadline is 22nd April, I would like every candidate to send me their application forms ASAP, as I need to complete an exam paper request. For foundation and intermediate this is especially important, as candidates for these exams must complete the practical aspects before the date of the written exam.

If you're in Southampton and would like to take an intermediate exam, feel free to come along to the doing today to obtain a VFO kit and UK mains plug. I can provide access to a soldering iron, toolkit and oscilloscope if you need these.

If you're interested in taking a foundation exam, please at least indicate this by the 1st April, as this will help with organising training sessions for operating kit.

If anyone needs to borrow a course textbook, we can also loan these out.

73s,

Henry M0HWY

For foundation and intermediate candidates, there are practical assessments which need completing before the exam. These are listed in the links below. These pages also contain links to practice papers, to give you an idea of the sort of questions asked in the exam:

foundation: https://www.suws.org.uk/wiki/Foundation_Syllabus
intermediate: https://www.suws.org.uk/wiki/Intermediate_Syllabus

If you are taking either a foundation or intermediate exam, please let me know ASAP so that we can allow enough time to get through the practical assessment stages. The application deadline is the 22nd April.

Links to advanced exam papers can be found here: https://www.suws.org.uk/wiki/Advanced_Syllabus

We have course books for each level of exam, which you may borrow from the society.
