Higher Power & RF Safety for Australian Amateur Radio

Post author By admin
Post date February 9, 2025

Phil Wait VK2ASD outlined and announced the WIA’s new EME Flowchart and wonderful online calculator that the RSGB has agreed to allow the WIA to use

This is the start of the journey to improve the EMR appreciation, knowledge, and skills, of every amateur radio operator in Australia. Compliance with EMR safety standards has been a condition of your amateur licence since 2003, both Apparatus and Class licenses. It is both a safety requirement and a step along the way in negotiating higher power privileges for Australian radio amateurs.

EMR Calculator and Resources – https://www.wia-education.com.au/resources-for-clubs

This presentation was part of the Tassie Ham-E-Con 2024. Other presentations from the conference can be found at this playlist here:
