Amateur Radio Licencing 
 

Welcome to the world of Amateur Radio. There are some rules and regulations that you must adhere to before you can transmit on the Amateur Bands.


Here is a link to the governing authority, the ACMA - Australian Communications and Media Authority,  which explains all of the necessary regulations required.

ACMA - Australian Communications and Media Authority

We at FAMPARC pride ourselves on being diverse, our members come from all walks of life, and they are willing to assist the newcomer with the ability to operate successfully with the many different modes of communication available to us.
The old stable Morse Code (CW) is no longer a requirement for an Amateur Radio licence in Australia, but there are many amateurs still using this mode.
So you can make choices with operating HF and Single Side Band (SSB), or AM, which gives access to overseas communications, to localised FM and Digital modes such as FT8, DMR, D-Star, Fusion etc., Amateur Television, and Satellites communication.
We have excellent radio equipment available in a quiet location, and our members are here to assist.
