Training

The Bishop Auckland Radio Amateur Club offers all the training required to become a Radio Amateur.

We cater for all the City & Guilds Radio Amateur Exams from foundation, to intermediate to advanced. Simply get in touch with our tutor, Tim Bevan M0ACV, to book your place. Our premises in Stanley Crook is also a registered City & Guilds exam centre, which means we can run all of our exams from the club.

Due to the nature of the training structures, tuition is provided on a "as and when" basis and depending on demand. Therefore, for any training enquiries or information, please contact Tim Bevan on 01388 832948.

Foundation Courses

Since the beginning of 2002, we now run the new foundation course. These courses are usually run on a two-day weekend format, and when enough interest has been generated for a course. As usual, our morse tuition is given on the Thursday night previous to the course weekend. This also gives candidates a chance to find the location and get to know some of our regulars. Get in touch with the club and leave your name and contact details if you wish to get on the course.

Morse

With the recent abolishment of the Morse code requirement for operation below 30MHz, there is no longer a need to offer Morse tuition. However, if you would like to learn Morse with us we will still be more than happy to help you. Morse tuition is provided by Brian Bartley M0BAR who is QTHR. Get in touch with us to find out more, and we'll be glad to help.
