Passing your Foundation exam is a great achievement – but once you’ve got your callsign, you may be wondering what to do next. We’ve created What Next? to help newly-licensed radio amateurs take their next steps. Whether you’re wondering what radio to buy, how to make your first contact, how to set up a station, where to find other amateurs, or simply what you can do with your new licence, we’ll try to point you in the right direction.

What Next? is a new service
Developed in response to feedback and surveys from Foundation students and newly-licensed amateurs. It’s still developing, so your feedback will help us decide what to add and improve.
