Thanks

Hi Doug,
It looks like there was an issue with compatability. Hopefully now sorted! Pete
Hi
I have made a slow start as yet. I’m now getting to grips with the technicalities of navigating the coursework, (not really a pc user) but will be catching up as from know on as my confidence builds. Course really interesting and I am very much appreciateive of your guidance.
Hi, ok prob a stupid question but watched the module 2 vid, what determines how the current to split evenly between the two lamps in the parallel circuit.
Think of it like water in a pipe – where there is a path for the water (or current) to flow, the water will flow. What happens when water flowing down a pipe finds a Y splitter? Ha;f goes down one split, and half goes down the other. Does that help?
Hi Pete,
I’m really enjoying the course.
I just viewed module 2 and completed the test.
I wish I had got into Ham Radio years ago.
Fantastic.
I just got my Foundation Licence Manual from the RSGB and it’s great.
Looking forward to module 3.
All the best,
David
Thanks for this module. I can see why the examination is described as “harder than previous years” and which parts may have come from the Intermediate exam! Glad I have plenty of time to study this; my exam isn’t til July 18th.
Would you happen to have this video on YouTube (like the first video)? I like to watch videos at 2x speed and you can’t do it on the embedded video. Thanks.
Hi Lee. No, but it’s available for download and you can play it back at a speed of your choice using a player such as VLC
