SARL Study Material Update Page

Last updated 2016-06-14


This page facilitates the revision of the SARL's Radio Amateur Examination Manual. The document is now called Introduction to Amateur Radio, and is intended to cover the entire HAREC syllabus. Together with an extract of Radio Frequency Spectrum Regulations, it provides full coverage of the syllabus for Class A licence candidates. An Afrikaans version is in progress. It is not yet complete, but the latest version is available here.

Official Status: In use

This page is not part of the official SARL study material. The newest version will always be found here, but the official approved version is on the SARL Web site.

Currently, differences are minimal.

Future Plans

The study material is a work in progress. Once this version comes into general use, we will continue to work on Introduction to Amateur Radio, Edition 1.3. The following additions are planned for that edition:

  • Full alignment between the questions in the manual and the actual question pool.
  • Answers to all questions provided in the study guide.
  • Incorporation (or at least consideration) of all suggestions resulting from actual use of Edition 1.2.

    Providing feedback

    Feedback is welcomed. The scope of this task makes it likely that we have overlooked something, and more pairs of eyes are essential to producing bullet-proof study material.

    You can communicate with the SARL's RAE Manager, or directly with the Editor.

    Documents for Comment

  • Introduction to Amateur Radio Edition 1.2, the latest draft version of the official study guide for the Radio Amateur Examination.
  • Extract from the South African Frequency Spectrum Regulations, also already in use but also open for comment.
  • Inleiding tot Amateurradio Weergawe 1.2. Hierdie Afrikaanse vertaling van die Studiegids sluit die eerste paar hoofstukke en woordelyste vir die oorblywende materiaal in, sodat Afrikaanse studente die Engelse teks kan baasraak. Kommentaar word verwelkom--daar is waarskynlik 'n paar glipsies, deels omdat Microsoft graag spelling verander...
