This is the highest level of amateur radio licence that you can obtain.
To gain a Full licence it is necessary to pass the Full Amateur Radio License Examination. This examination is more advanced than the Intermediate, it again covers radio theory and licence conditions but because holding a full licence enables you to use 1000 Watts power output to your transmitter such subjects as Electro Magnetic Compatability (EMC), antenna design and safety issues are covered in some depth. The licence allows access to all the amateur allocations with full power.
The 2020 pandemic brought about big changes to the way people could obtain their license and most people now self teach using the RSGB course books (rsgbshop.org/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_Training_19.html) or take one of the online courses. They can also take their exam online in the comfort of their own home.
Because of these changes as a club we now see much less little demand for in-person courses or hosting exams, but we may still arrange a course if there is sufficient demand to ensure the school hire costs are reasonable for those attending.
Relatively recently introduced there is now a ‘Direct to Full’ Licence exam which can be taken by those who feel they already have extensive knowledge of radio communications and amateur radio reglulations and this can also be taken at home.
