Our very own John Hislop, G7OHO has been hard at work within the RSGB Examinations and Syllabus Review Group (ESRG) to help improve training materials and the examination process. He's also managed to find the time to author some dedicated training manuals aimed specifically at young learners wishing to study for their Amateur Radio licence.

All of the members here at the Hilderstone Radio Society are very proud of the great work John is doing and hope this new training resource helps the next generation join in with our amazing hobby.

The manuals for the new specification 1.6 are available now. The foundation manual has been split into an instructor’s guide and a student guide.
