Aspiring radio amateurs in the United Kingdom preparing for their licensing examinations can utilize this resource, which offers mock exam questions covering the Foundation, Intermediate, and Advanced license levels. The site provides access to question pools, including associated images, designed for use with _Moodle_ learning management systems requiring PHP and MySQL. These question sets are available for non-commercial deployment by UK amateur radio clubs and organizations, facilitating local training initiatives. The original online mock test service ceased operations in August 2018 due to maintenance overhead. The current iteration serves as a repository, allowing other organizations to download the question databases. This approach enables broader access to the exam preparation material, supporting the UK amateur radio community in achieving licensing qualifications. The resource does not offer direct online testing but directs users to other sites, such as _Radio Tutor_, that implement these question banks.

The Amateur Radio Association of Bahrain (ARAB) was established in 1970 to support the amateur radio community within Bahrain, operating under the **A92C** callsign. This organization provided a central point for local hams, fostering activities and representing their interests for several decades. Its historical presence is noted, even though it is no longer active. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, ARAB ceased its operations. However, a new amateur radio society has since been formed in Bahrain, continuing the tradition of supporting local hams. Interested individuals can contact Fawaz, **A92AA**, for details regarding membership and the new society's activities, ensuring continued amateur radio presence in the region.
