1. An Introduction to Amateur Radio

2. The purpose of Amateur Radio “To encourage self- training in radio”

3. Education vs Training STELAR: Education

4. Foundation Licence Technical Basics The BIG 3

5. The Big 3 Current (Amps) Resistance and Impedance (Ohms) Potential Difference (Volts)

6. A peculiar way of thinking? Current as electron vibration

7. A peculiar way of thinking? Resistance: transfer of electron energy to atoms resulting in energy dissipation by heating.

8. A peculiar way of thinking? Electrical Potential = energy possessed by electrons Potential Difference = energy transferred from electrons to a component

9. V = IR

10. Battery / Cell provides Potential Difference for circuit Battery/Cell source of Direct Current (DC).

11. Frequency
