<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The Radio Reactivation Program in Poland<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Paweł Zakrzewski SP7TEV writes on the IARU Region 1 site about an education program to promote amateur radio in schools.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The "Radio Reactivation" Programme constitutes an educational venture propagating technical culture and amateur radio among children and youth in Poland. "Reactivation" is a service of the amateur radio community aimed
at conveying their passion and fascination with radio technologies to younger generations. "Reactivation" is a nationwide free training programme addressed to primary and secondary schools.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">"Reactivation" is based on the assumption that this programme functions as a movement motivating the amateur radio community in Poland to cooperate with new generations.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">“Dear Amateur Radio Friends: by presenting the mission of the "Radio Reactivation" Programme, we would like to point out that this action is not assigned and subordinated to any group of people, any club of the Polish
Amateur Radio Union (PZK), any regional (local) section of the PZK, and it is not an action organised by the POLSKI ZWIAZEK KROTKOFALOWCOW (PZK), by the League of National Defence (LOK), or by any other organisation (although e.g. the PZK is one of the bodies
that support the "Radio Reactivation" Programme - translator’s note).”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The entire venture is a spontaneous initiative of volunteers and it brings together all who want to work for implementation of the above-formulated ideas. Any person can become a volunteer - a person who holds an amateur
radio licence as well as a person without a licence, who will be able - due to his/her knowledge - to assist in preparation of the programme for schools in terms of its specialist content.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The programme is free as such, but it is limited by our logistic and time capabilities, so it is important to make the largest possible group of people from the whole territory of Poland focus on that idea.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">It is assumed that the website of the "Radio Reactivation" Programme will match teachers who want to present it to their pupils (students) - together with radio amateurs across our country, providing their time and equipment
for a class. A class can be conducted by teachers as well by radio amateurs.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">In order to make the venture successful and for ensuring its nationwide impact, it is important that volunteers inform sufficiently in advance about their willingness to help.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The "Radio Reactivation" Programme is a non-profit initiative, i.e. nobody collects any property intended for business, or applies for funding from any organisations, associations, foundations and other groups - formal
and informal ones.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The "Radio Reactivation" Programme is represented as a venture to other organisations and legal entities by its initiative group consisting of the following persons: Paweł Włodarczyk SQ5STS, Ryszard Labus SQ9MDD, Jerzy
Wróbel SQ5NPW, Tomasz Zagóra SQ5OBU, Tomasz Wawer SQ5RIX, Andrzej Chałubiec SP9ENO, Michał Grzesiczak SQ7JZI, Jacek Kotowski SQ5LNO and Hubert Anysz SP5RE.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">You are cordially invited!!!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Conspectus of classes for children<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Only single shows are envisaged, in form of classes composed of four blocks - for groups of 15-30 participants (maximum), from the 5th-6th form of primary schools (12-13 years) and from the 1st form of secondary schools
(14 years). [According to the education system in Poland - translator’s note].<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Duration: from 2 hours and 15 minutes to 4 hours<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The material is presented briefly, to be a wide and interesting, but with emphasis on combination of amateur radio with the principle of electromagnetism and the physical properties of waves, in such a way that this material
be attractive to the management of schools in terms of education - as the primary condition of implementation of the programme in schools.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The presented material is envisaged as a set of experiments rather than a lecture on theory. The idea to prepare one common teaching material was born in the mind of Ryszard SQ9MDD, and then - with support of many people
- it has been launched on this page.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Block 1 (45 minutes)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">- What is radio communication? - 20 minutes<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Block 2 (45 minutes)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">- The rules of activity on the bands - 10 minutes<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">- A pattern of a contact and the basics of spelling - 10 minutes (copies to be distributed among all participants)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">- Skeds (arranged QSOs) on the 144 MHz band - activity of children on the air (under supervision) under a club call sign - 25 minutes<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Block 3 (45 minutes)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">- Calling CQ on the 7MHz band - activity on the air undertaken by selected (previously prepared) children who know English, under a club call sign, up to 3 QSOs - 15 minutes, or presentation of one contact by a leading
operator<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">- Theoretical issues - part 2 (wave theory, principles of radiation of radio waves - propagation, antennas) - 30 minutes<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Additional block<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">- Further activity of children on the 7MHz band (under supervision) within the framework of time at disposal afterwards<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">- It is obvious that the schedule of a class can be always adapted to the requirements of a school, and logistic capabilities - together with time of volunteers-radio amateurs - are the only limitation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">On its side, a school should ensure:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">- a projector and a screen,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">- a room with a window onto a close (a place for antennas), the distance to the pitch - no longer than 30-50 meters,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">- additional tables for the equipment.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The conducting operator should ensure:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">- equipment for experiments,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">- a radio transmitter (a transceiver) and antennas.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The classes are free of charge, but information with a relevant link and photo material on the website of a school would be welcome. ;)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
