Starting in the wonderful hobby of Amateur or HAM Radio can be daunting and challenging but can be very rewarding. Every week I look at a different aspect of the hobby, how you might fit in and get the very best from the 1000 hobbies that Amateur Radio represents. Note that this podcast started in 2011 as "What use is an F-call?".

Welcome
Foundations of Amateur Radio
This podcast started life in 2011 when I was asked to record a story I shared during the production of the weekly amateur radio news in Western Australia.
I'd been a licensed radio amateur, or ham, for a few months and found myself surrounded by people who perceived the basic Australian foundation amateur licence wasn't worth anything.
What use is an F-call? is my response to that sentiment. It's produced weekly.
In 2015 after long deliberation it was renamed to Foundations of Amateur Radio so people outside Australia might also enjoy the experience.
Although most of the items stand alone, I'd recommend that you start at the beginning in 2011 and listen in sequence.
Enjoy.
