Workshops and Training

Workshops turn radio theory into useful hands-on skills that members can repeat at home.

Hands-on learning

Useful skills beat vague presentations

Good club training should leave people able to do something specific: program a radio, make a first repeater contact, test coax, assemble a simple antenna, understand a power setup, or use software for digital modes.

Good workshop topics

  • First handheld setup
  • Repeater programming
  • Antenna basics
  • Coax and connector testing
  • SDR and digital modes
  • Portable power
Training format
