Radio Theory Training Taupo 2021
A great course for Radio theory, Steve knows his stuff and explains it well. It has the right amount of content to challenge you and the test at the end keeps one thinking. Also a great opportunity to network with others in the industry.

Definitely not just Radio Ga-Ga!!
Very informative course. Good introduction-level knowledge for people with limited exposure to RF. Steve definitely knows his stuff and is always more than happy to answer questions. The in-room practicals with the testing gear helps make it understandable for novices like me. Thanks :)
