Report on December 2009 Foundation Liciense Course

I pleased to report that the weekend's Foundation Course went extremely well, but only due to the invaluable support from fellow instructors Brian Gutteridge (2E0MBZ) and Ted MacDonald (G4TTY). Also with nine candidates taking the exam, the job of Invigilator and marking was only made possible with the help of Dick Lupton (M0RXZ).

Thanks also go to Derek (G3GRO) for coming on 20 metres to assist with the HF practical assessments and to Stewart (G3YSX) for helping out with some 2-metre QSOs



Eight students passed, and we welcome Ben Murray as a new member of CARC.

From left to right in the attached photo, names of the successful candidates are as follows:

James Stewart, Anthony Craven, Paul Raine, Nick Vaughan, Ben Murray, Daniel Richman, Steve Pantony and Maureen Comber
