[Guest Brian Roberts]

Hello Forum,

Seeings there is so many radio experts on this site

i was hopeing someone could answer this question?

I have booked a src course for a couple of weeks time(and i know little!)

I was wondering if how hard it will be to pass?

do i need to study prior to the course

or will i be given all the training on the day?

also what channel do the small boats use in dorset and hampshire?

thanks Brian

Hi Brian

 

Firstly welcome to pbsbac forum.

 

Spend a bit of time learning the phonetic alphabet and you will pass. After a day on these coureses you would have to try really hard to fail.

You pay your money, they give it to you. If it looks like you're going wrong they'll put the words in your mouth like all the other courses out there. Has anyone known anybody who's failed?

[Seamouse]

Failure is not an option

Ask himn what his pass rate is? Anything < 100% and go else where.

Avoid fraises such as

 

foxtrot oscar............

&

papa oscar.............

 

 

..........people get the wrong idea.

Brian, in all seriousness, remember the three cardinal rules of using the Radio.....your ABC

 

Accuracy, Brevity, Clarity. It may save your life. Avoid swearing over the net, stick to what you will learn on the course.
