UKHAS were offering the option to complete the amateur radio Foundation Practical Assessments and Exam at the conference. This was rapidly fully booked, perhaps a sign of the shortage of Foundation exams venues.<\/p>\n

If you would like to speak or run a workshop, please do get in touch with either Daniel Saul M6DSA<\/a><\/strong> or Steve Randall G8KHW<\/strong><\/a>. Contributions don\u2019t need to be directly linked to ballooning and they look forward to all suggestions.<\/p>\n
