Alex Discovers Amateur Radio

7 There are three levels of Amateur Licence in the UK. Foundation like Mady has. Intermediate is the next stage up, and Full the final stage. All require the holder to pass an exam at the appropriate level before they are issued with a transmitting licence and their own call sign. The Foundation exam is the simplest and consists of 26 multiple choice questions, as well as a simple operating assessment. I know your dad. Where is he now? Hi! Are you here for the Field day? Yes. Are you Madison Bailey? How did you know that? The what!? Over there, in the 20 metre CW tent. Madison, this is my son, Alex. Alex, why don’t you talk with Madison about Amateur Radio while I speak with her dad? Hi. You can call me Mady. But dad I want to go with you, to learn more about radio. I’m sure Mady can answer some questions for you. You’re a Ham right Mady? You bet! M6CAM M6 – what? M6CAM That’s my call sign.
