About this ebook
The Foundation Study Guide is split into the main exam sections and covers the basics of amateur radio, transmitters, antennas, how radio signals can be sent around the world and how to set up an amateur radio station safely. It also covers the rules and regulations set out by the UK’s radio regulator Ofcom, as well as how to operate on-air and make contact with the worldwide amateur radio community.
To help prepare you for the exam, the guide includes a 26-question mock exam, a handy glossary of common amateur radio terms and acronyms, and several pages of exam FAQs.
The guide uses material from the popular online course, including diagrams, tables and photos to help with revision, as well as various hints and tips on passing the Foundation exam, how to get your licence, and what to do after passing your exam.
Ofcom updated the UK amateur radio licence in 2024, and this updated Foundation Study Guide covers the various updates. It covers the latest version of the RSGB exam syllabus, v1.6b and is suitable for exams from April 2025.
