Ham radio - PLAR for sig ops possible ?

[Sigprospect]

Hi all,

I have been expressing interest in HAM RADIO over the past years and got my license, but I am not very active.

With the changing recent landscape, I am more interested in joining the CAF as an sig operator. However, I wonder if amateur radio experience and courses/certificates would allow me to PLAR some of the training topics on DP1 or BMQ for new recruits.

Anyone able to assist on this ?

Thanks

No. It would basically only write off a week of training for Signal theory, maybe, so its not even worth submitting. HAM will do nothing for BMQ.

Thanks appreciate the info, I was afraid this could be the case.

Will there be any education available for civilians to allow PLAR as SigOps ? Just wondering what could be a strong new recruit application and possibly expedite graduation or career progression/development.
