The beauty of this course is in its common sense simplicity. It instills a sense of discipline with respect to the proper use of equipment and the public airwaves. It allows successful, hard working pupils the chance to secure the coveted FCC Amateur Radio license. Over the years, Ham Radio has allowed me as a school administrator, to point to the accomplishments of this group to staff, colleagues, parent groups and community representatives on a regular and continuing basis. Every subject area is an integral part of this program.
Students learn concepts and terminology related to electricity and physics.
In this program students utilize many communications skills by learning to speak clearly and succinctly on the air, optionally learning Morse Code through auditory and memory techniques, and by writing follow-up cards and letters to their radio contacts all over the world. In our attempt to support interdisciplinary approaches to learning, our teachers have attended workshops in our school to learn how to integrate high motivational ham radio lessons into their respective curriculum. I am able, therefore, based on what I have actually observed and experienced, to endorse Amateur Radio without reservation, as a wonderful learning tool that will bring immediate success, positive recognition and great satisfaction to all members of your school's community - pupils in particular.
