La plus ancienne association de radioamateurs va célébrer ses 100 ans (MAJ-1)
Publié par Onlineradio dans News Radioamateur
2010 marquera le 100ème anniversaire de la Wireless Institute of Australia (WIA) la plus ancienne association de radioamateurs au monde. C’est le 11 mars 1910 qu’un groupe de radioamateurs se réunissait à Sydney pour défendre leurs intérêts et leurs droits face aux autorités.
Le président de la WIA Michael Owen, VK3KI, invite toute la communauté radioamateurs à participer à cette célébration. Dans le revue d’octobre de cette association, on découvre le programme des célébrations. Entre autre, un indicatif spécial VK100WIA sera utilisé par la station officielle de la WIA et de nombreux radio-clubs à travers le pays, à partir de mai prochain et pendant 5 mois. Une QSL spéciale sera éditée pour l’occasion ainsi qu’un diplôme le WIA Centenary Award.
Un programme des manifestations est prévu pour coïncider avec le meeting annuel de la WIA en mai 2010 à Canberra.

Ah l’Australie le paradis des Fzéro ! Avec une licnece novice Australienne » Foundation license » a vous les joies du DX en HF…
Oui mais l’Australie est loin d’être la france
oui mais en australie , les novices ont un examen un peu technique (genre F4 chez nous) et puis émission pirate = en taule directement
Faut savoir ce qu’on veut
Non vous vous trompez la Foundation Licence Australienne ou Anglaise est bien plus simple que la F4 Francaise.
A- Identification of common transmission lines types.
Using physical examples or photographs or diagrams of common coaxial and parallel transmission lines provided. The candidate need to identify correctly three types of transmission lines as coaxial or parallel line.
B- Identify balanced and unbalanced transmission line
Using physical examples or photographs or diagrams of common coaxial and parallel transmission lines provided to candidate. At least one type of transmission line must be « balanced » and the other « unbalanced ». The candidate identifies the types of transmission line as « balanced » or « unbalanced ».

C- Identification of common coaxial connectors.
Using physical examples or photographs or diagrams of three types of coaxial connector. The candidate identifies at least two of the three types present. Example PL-259, BNC, N-Type.
D- Demonstrate how to conduct a continuity check on a coaxial cable which is terminated with RF connectors on both ends.
This is a physical skill test using a provided Ohmmeter and terminated coaxial cable. Or Oral questions and response on how the test procedure would be conducted and results interpreted. Using an Ohmmeter. Low loop resistance test with one end short circuited and high resistance open circuit test. Or an oral description of the test and interpretation of results of test.
E- Identify antennas physical examples or supplied (standard) assessors diagram of five antenna types.
Candidates need to identify correctly at least four of the five antennas.
F- Construct an RF choke Oral question.
Physically demonstrate or fully describe how an RF choke is constructed (of a type used for RF interference suppression). Simulated construction using a provided Ferrite toroid or Rod and cable or wire. Candidate will physically simulate construction of a simple RF choke.
G- Identification of electronic symbols.
Candidates need to identify at least five Australian Standard electronic symbols from a supplied sheet, two much be the antenna and earth symbols.
H- Equipment inter-connection.
Demonstrate safely the connection of a transmitter/receiver (transceiver), ready for powering up. Physically connect a transceiver to a power source, an antenna (or dummy load). Connect an external SWR meter and antenna tuner. All interconnecting cables and equipment supplied and in an appropriate uncluttered environment. The candidate must connect up the station in a safe manner with the devices in correct order.
I- Frequency band identification.
Identify amateur radio bands for the Foundation Licence (or Standard or Advanced if the candidate is attempting that assessment). The candidate will be supplied a copy of the appropriate Licence Condition Determination. They need to correctly identify (using the LCD) the band limits of any four bands chosen by the assessor.
J- On-air operating protocols.
Demonstrate the protocol(s) required prior to commencing transmitting. Candidate is provided a tuned, ready to use Amateur Radio station on HF and VHF or UHF. No tuning or adjustments necessary. Candidate needs to demonstrate the requirement to listen on frequency prior to transmission and may include increasing the receiver gain or opening mute for weak signal detection. This task should be repeated up to three times and may be incorporated in other elements of competency.
K- Calling procedures.
Demonstrate making on-air calling procedures for HF and VHF or UHF Candidate is provided with a ready to use Amateur Radio station. Candidate needs to demonstrate preferably the procedure for make a call on HF and VHF or UHF.
L- Signal strength measurement.
Demonstrate how the signal strength meter is used in conjunction with a signal report. Using an amateur radio station on HF and VHF or UHF the candidate demonstrates the use of a Signal Strength meter.
M- Voice repeater operation.
With the material provided demonstrate the correct use of voice repeaters with and without
CTCSS
DTMF
The candidate must demonstrates the need to identify the station before transmitting DTMF tones.
N- Purpose of breaks in transmissions.
By oral questioning discuss the purpose of and importance of breaks in transmissions on HF and VHF or UHF.
O- Change to another frequency (QSY).
By use of an Amateur Radio station after making a contact with another station, the candidate needs demonstrate the correct protocol for changing to another frequency.
P- Q-Code and the Phonetic Alphabet.
Use of plain language. By oral questioning only the candidate should be asked the purpose of the Q-code and the phonetic alphabet. Including the importance of standardised codes and signals over radio.
Note- while not preventing such use- it is not a requirement for the candidate to use the Q-code or the phonetic alphabet in any part of this assessment.
Q- Transmitter power measurement and adjustment.
Demonstrate the measurement of output power of a transmitter. Adjust the transmitter power to within legal limits. This may be done using an Amateur Radio station connected to a dummy load. Candidate demonstrates the ability to make simple power measurements and adjustment using a wattmeter.
R- Measurement of SWR.
Preferably with the use of an Amateur Radio station connected to an antenna, the candidate should demonstrate the ability to make a simple SWR measurement. Candidate demonstrate the correct technique (including identification of transmission if conducted on-air) for making a simple SWR measurement. Candidate needs to be able to interpret if the reading is within acceptable limits (equal to or less than 1.5:1)
S- Correcting high SWR.
Using oral questioning the candidate is asked on methods available to correct an antenna system that may have a high SWR. Examples, use an antenna tuner or correct an antenna fault or adjust the antenna . Specific adjustments or tuning are not required in this assessment task. Candidate orally describes what remedial action may be taken to rectify a high SWR problem.
T- Electrical safety.
High voltage and currents Oral questions and responses from the candidate to ascertain that the candidate is aware of the dangers of high voltage (electric shock) and current (heat, burning and possibly fire).
Rien a voir avec les 120 themes techniques de la F4 Francaise.
Quand le REF-UNION va t’il comprendre qu’il faut prendre exemple sur l’Australie ou l’angleterre ?
Je vous laisse imaginer, quand la Fédé des kékés libres fêtera ses 100ans!!!
Tontouné 12 laissera ses directives sur son testamant…
Le REFU n’atteindra pas les 100 ans, il est déjà en chimiothérapie, et les métastases se propagent en son sein.

Fais bien attention à toi, tu pourrais subir le même sort avant le REF.
Ce n'est pas très intelligent de faire de l'humour avec les maladies !
ou avec les handicaps, comme celui qui voulait faire faire un 200 mètres à F5HX …
Le meilleur remède à la maladie quelle qu’elle soit est l’humour.
