New to Amateur Radio

The Foundation Licence is a stepping stone or entry point, giving you a real taste of Amateur Radio and the fun it provides.

It is for those wanting to enjoy Amateur Radio, to have the knowledge and skills to demonstrate a practical ability to put together a station from commercial equipment (or equipment you build yourself if you are really keen), and to operate it safely.

Amateur Radio (ham radio) is a popular hobby and service that brings people, electronics and communication together. People use ham radio to talk across town, around the world, or even into space (such as the International Space Station), all done without using the Internet or mobile phones.
