Having been day there in the last couple of weeks I can say that I do love this field... and the locals are friendly beyond compare.

If I can get a leave pass I'll be there with bells on Patty!

Hay Glenny,

Yeah the preparations are coming along great. We are looking at have drag racing, maybe a timed flight and a scale fly off or something.

We will have heaps of prizes and raffles, all the sponsors have been great.

Great! Seems like an easy enough place to get to, looks like i'll be getting up bright and early so i can make most of the day

. One thing i would like to ask, on this other forum you linked, it mentioned that 36mhz controllers need to be certified and the 2.4 need a c tick, what does this all mean?

Hey Skidd

I had planned on it, but this weekend I am doing my foundation licence course. I only found out about the dates about a week or so ago, and given that these are only held pretty rarely, I have to take it on.

I know you guys will have a great time this weekend. The guys are great hosts. We had a blast last year!!!

Glenny,

What is a Foundation License Course?

Peter

· #19 · May 29, 2008

it's an Amateur radio ;( ham radio) , licence

r2160

· #20 · May 29, 2008

The powers that control radio gear have made it a little easier to get into the amateur radio hobby (something I have wanted to do for about 20 years).

They now have a licence called a Foundation Licence, which has restrictions on power output etc, but allows people that dont know much about the hobby, to get involved, start working the radio while learning more about it to get a full licence.

The courses are usually held by clubs and are a little rare, so when this one came up, I jumped on it.

for info, I went to www.wia.org.au and my mate Peter and the guys at the Blue mountains club, are holding a course which unfortunately coincided with the part in Victoria

But I know you guys will try to hold up without me

cheers
Glenn
