Getting On Air

The amateur radio resource at Clayton West is the latest addition to our resources. When the requirements for the Amateur Radio Operator's license changed we realised that there was an opportunity to train young people to become radio operators.

With funding from the Youth Foundation, Greenhead Masons and the Parish Council we managed to subsidise the cost of training and also buy some basic radio equipment to operate on 2 metres.

Training was provided by John Carter from Wakefield District Scouts and Wakefield Amateur Radio Group.

The first course for foundation level had some 18 applicants from Scouts and Explorers.
