On the 12th of September this year the ACMA announced wide-ranging amendments to the regulatory conditions for the amateur radio Foundation licence, most significantly removal of prior restrictions on the use of digital modes for radio communication, such as DMR.
The Foundation Licence Manual has been the prime study resource for those wishing to gain a Foundation licence in Australia. This highly successful WIA education publication is currently in its third edition.
The WIA Foundation Manual publication team has released a supplement to update the Foundation Licence Manual (3rd Edition) to reflect the new Licence Conditions. The supplement is available for download from the link below and also accessible from the Foundation Licence Manual Page on the WIA website (under the "Your Amateur Licence" dropdown menu)
CAUTION: At the time of writing this news item, the ACMA has NOT yet released changes to the Foundation licence syllabus which remains unchanged, and it appears unlikely that syllabus changes will occur before December 2019. The supplement ( see URL above) does contain some possibilities, loosely based on the United Kingdom 2019 Foundation licence syllabus. The syllabus items are examples only of what may be included. At the time of writing they do not form part of the Foundation licence assessment.
NOTE: The WIA does not provide licence assessments. It is reasonably assumed that the assessment question bank has been modified to remove outdated regulatory items. However, examination candidates should clarify the latest requirements with the relevant assessment service provider.
Further supplements will be released as required.
