Brickworks

Following on from our most recent club meeting I’d like to again point the spotlight towards Brickworks, the RSGB’s newest scheme to encourage people to get involved in the wide variety of activities that the hobby has to offer.

To summarize, Brickworks aims to be a fun way to point you to discover more about amateur radio and what the hobby has to offer by completing a range (or all!) of 23 different activities, centred around five key themes. There are five certificates available, ranging from Bronze to Diamond depending on how many activities you have completed.

Internally BARC has created a google form that you can fill in to update us on your progress. Once you’ve reached the required number of achievements, you’ll be awarded a certificate, simple! The form saves your call-sign to collate your data if you make multiple submissions, please don’t mix your 0’s and O’s! To access the form, please click here. Alternatively, to learn more about brickworks, click here.

Brickworks is an exciting and fun way to build on what you have learned on your Foundation Course. It enables you to learn more about your new hobby, build your confidence, gain a greater understanding of how to get the best out of your equipment and enjoy new experiences.

Tell me more about Brickworks

Brickworks is a scheme run by local amateur radio clubs such as ourselves that have committed to helping all licensed amateur radio operators discover what the hobby has to offer. Brickworks Accredited Clubs are welcoming and friendly places that will support both those new to the hobby, and those who are already licensed, who want to explore the hobby more fully. They will give them advice, guidance, and help. They will work with their Brickworks participants and provide them with a refuge when things go a little wrong. It’s the scheme that we all wish had been in place when we were newly licensed.

You will have fun whilst discovering more about amateur radio and what it has to offer by completing the 23 varied activities that Brickworks is based on, centred around five themes.

How will I be rewarded for my achievements?

As you progress through the scheme, and complete activities successfully, you will receive awards to recognise your progress; Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum and Diamond.

Certificate	Activities
Bronze	3
Silver	5
Gold	10
