Hello, I’m Geoff Emery, VK4ZPP, and I’ve been thinking.

I bet most of us have seen the banner headlines in the press and the
amateur radio
news sources.
It is time to break out the DX spray and shine the antennas and make sure
there is
an adequate supply of electrons in the PC to lodge the eQSLs and logs. Sun
Spot
Cycle 25 has been officially announced this week past. For those who have
never
operated during times of increasing sunspot numbers, the next few years
should
provide a feast of interesting operations on the HF bands. Bands which
currently
appear dead to voice and CW will open up and regular skeds will be possible.

Many people have just been able to access digital modes and they are
finding the
enhanced sensitivity is giving them DX that they haven't been able to
otherwise
attain. Not only will the weak signal modes come to life like most have never
experienced but the old fashioned practice of using microphones will
become popular
once more. That is when we can enjoy periods of almost uninterrupted good
conditions. I look forward to the next 4 to 5 years.

Now to something else. I have mentioned how pleased I was to see the WIA
release the
Trial Foundation Test generator. Part of this was that some years ago I
stuck my
nose into books on adult education and learning. What a deep subject this
is and to
demonstrate, I would suggest people look up a reasonable library catalogue
and see
the extraordinary number of published books and articles that you can
access. All
too often people get treated as if they were product dropped off the end of a
production line, the sausage machine analogy applies here. As educators
have learned
more about teaching, schools have had to adapt the teaching to suit the
younger
learners and in the adult learning field, there are several types of
learners to be
accommodated.

With this in mind, the various resources that we have had for people
wanting to
master the theoretical aspect of amateur radio and electronics have
addressed the
certain number of learners who are adept in “book” learning and classroom
instruction from the previous WIA training. This scheme has been shifted
somewhat
with the AMC taking a different approach.

What the trial examination does is provide a method of people testing their
knowledge and understanding of the subject matter in their own home and at
their own
time. There is no question bank available to simply try and memorise the
questions
and answers and as the app rewrites the papers for each attempt, it isn’t
likely
many people would remember the questions precisely. Anyway, there is ample
precedent
as when I first wanted to sit the test, the old papers were available
at no charge from the local Radio Inspector’s Office. Later there we

I’m Geoff Emery, VK4ZPP and that’s what I think….how about you?
