-====== OARC Full Licence Study Group: ======
+====== Radcom Text ======
-===== Overview =====
-The Online Amateur Radio Community Full Licence Study Group is a fast track online interactive course run over approximately 8 weeks.
-Below is an overview of the program:
-**Week	Summary**
-	Let’s introduce ourselves. Course Overview & Intermediate Recap Week
-	Licence Conditions.
-	Technical aspects
-	Transmitters and receivers
-	Feeders and antennas
-	Propagation
-	Electromagnetic compatibility
-	Operating practices and procedures
-	Safety
-	Measurements and construction
-	Mock tests and exam technique
-The list above is each section of the syllabus; depending on the group, some sections may be combined into one week. However, equally likely, some sections may be spread over more than one week. We would still aim to complete coverage of all the full syllabus within 8 weeks.
-The learning activities consist of:
-•	Taking part in a weekly Zoom session with fellow learners, typically 1 – 1.5 hours [streams are available to candidates unable to attend]
-•	A number of activities or quizzes on the week’s topics and regular chats on our Discord server (in the group’s own chat channel.
-•	A weekly reading list of pages from your Full Licence Manual
-•	Preparing your own presentation to develop syllabus items and to deliver the presentation to fellow learners.
-•	Additional support material, often in the form of YouTube videos, from a diverse range of sources. Whatever any of us can find really.
-==== What is the cost? ====
-**Adults**
+===== Edit 1 =====
-£5 non-refundable deposit. [All money is invested back in the community and used to cover delivery costs, such as Zoom, web hosting and community services.]
-**Students, Under 18s & Concessions**
+Example: Online Amateur Radio Community (Online ARC), Virtual Clubs, Paul, M0TZO, 0843 006 1378  1st Friday & 3rd Saturday Online Virtual Pub Meet.
-The course is free to under 18’s and those in full time education Concessions are available for those facing hardship.
-==== Setting expectations ====
+//Calls to 0843 numbers cost 5p per minute +VAT when called from a BT landline.//
-Everyone learns differently, some absorb books like a sponge, others really need that 1 on 1 time to get more complex concepts down. This learning activity lands somewhere in the middle.
+===== Email to Radcom =====
-We have aimed at those who benefit from structured learning and having material presented in fresh and interesting ways, but also are able to hold themselves to account to complete tasks by specific dates.
-But…. you need to be aware that that will be a quite intense period of learning in order to pack in the full syllabus. You will only get out what you are prepared to put in.
-==== So, who is this course for? ====
+Dear Radcom;
-This learning is primarily aimed at those who have recently obtained their intermediate licence and are looking to take the next step. It’s targeted at those who are comfortable with modern communication methods, from Google Classroom, Zoom through to Discord & who are prepared to commit real time and effort to additional self-study & revision throughout the week to rise up this learning curve & be ready for the next module.
+Please can you add us to your events page - we are affiliated with the RSGB under Region 9 but would be better placed in the Virtual Club section.

+Featuring Training for Foundation, Intermediate and Full licence levels, Social Nights, Talks, specific chat rooms (eg antennas, satellites, contesting, etc), SIP PBX (out own VOIP network) & club callsign & activities.
+====== Operating in UK ======
+You can operate for 3 months under CEPT T/R 61-01 using a US Amateur Extra licence. For operation beyond that you need to either sit our exams to get a UK licence, or pay for a Temporary Reciprocal licence at £20 every six months (renewable as many times as you like).
+You cannot get a permanent UK licence without further exams
+First three months: you can operate as M/(US AE Callsign) without paying anything, notifying anyone or doing anything, just key up and enjoy.
+Next six months: apply for a Temporary Reciprocal licence costing £20 which will allow you to continue as M/(US AE Callsign) for another six months
+Every subsequent six months for as long as you like: reapply for Temporary Reciprocal licence costing another £20
+HAREC is a certificate issued when you pass the highest level of amateur radio exam in various countries including the UK, which entitles you to apply for a licence in any of those countries. Unfortunately neither Malaysia or the USA is part of the scheme
+£27.50 to sit the Foundation, £32.50 to sit the Intermediate and £37.50 to sit the Full
+You must sit them in order, but you can stay at Foundation or Intermediate for as long as you like (or forever)
+The licences are free for life
+The Temporary Reciprocal licence gives you the full privileges associated with a Full licence, so in practice you might want to keep renewing it until you've gotten a Full licence (unless you're happy with 10W at Foundation or 50W at Intermediate)
+The three months you can operate without doing anything also have the full privileges of a Full licence.
+This is the form you'll need to fill out in order to apply for a Temporary Reciprocal licence to continue operating in the UK for more than three months after you arrive. https://www.ofcom.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0019/47233/OfW346-Amateur-Radio-Application.pdf
