Overview

This page is where I am gathering everything that I have found helpful when studying for my foundation Radio License

Books

Foundation Level Study Guide

URL: https://vkradioamateurs.org/flsg/

Cost: Free

A really helpful study guide that covers all of the stuff on the exam. I found this study guide to be the most helpful resource out of all of them.

Your Entry Into Amateur Radio

URL: https://www.wia.org.au/licenses/foundation/foundationmanual/

Cost: About $35.00

An excellent resource that covers a LOT of information about radio. While it isnt free, I will have this on hand as I continue learning about radio.

Education Resources

URL: https://sarc.org.au/resources/

Lots of great resources to help with studying for the exam. In particular I found the Foundation Exam Revision really helpful as a quick refresher before the exam.

Videos

res.net.au has published youtube videos that cover all of the foundation and practical content. Covers everything I needed and is broken up into Theory (FT) and Practical (FP) videos.

Practice Exams

WIA Online Assessment

This was an excellent way to check my knowledge. Recommend that you take the exam, not what you got wrong to help identify areas to focus on. Once you get consistently good scores (90%) you are ready for the exam.

Websites
