DID YOU TELL ANYONE ABOUT AMATEUR RADIO THIS WEEK?
--------------------------------------------------
Welcome to QNEWS from VK4WIA.
I'm Geoff Emery, VK4ZPP and I'm pondering the irony of whether the
John Moyle will be a contest with the weather.
As Qnews is being put to bed, the weather bureau has announced that
Cyclone Unui will now probably cross over the Queensland Coast. By the time
of this broadcast we will know whether we have been able to share an amateur
field operations contest or whether our attentions have been turned to
putting our preparations to more serious use. It is ironic that the weather
may prove the very purpose of the John Moyle Field Day.
From The Summerland Amateur Radio Club weekly newsletter, comes the news that
the train the trainer part of the new WIA Emergency Training is being
completed and the next phase will be the training and assessment of the 192
currently registered applicants throughout all VK. This is our WIA working for
the hobby and the community.
Depending on the weather, good contesting or stay safe.
I'm Geoff Emery and that's what I think.....how about you?
BUNDABERG
The news from Bundaberg club this week is that we have held our first meeting for the
year and had a good roll up.
The most important thing we do each February is to organise our yearly calendar and
we're all exhausted after we work through it month by month. We end up with things
like; 6 WICEN training sessions, 4 social events, 4 meetings; numerous fox hunts
and workshops, so it promises to be another busy year for the Bundy members.
We've also held our first WICEN training for the year and had the pleasure of hearing
from the Bundaberg Regional Council's disaster planning officer. He outlined our role
in the new amalgamated council's welfare plan and commended our members for their
ongoing training and dedication.
WICEN Bundaberg has a vastly increased area of responsibility since the Queensland
council amalgamations but we are actively working on a new repeater site at
Mt Watalgan to ensure we can meet our commitments.

G'day - I'm Dale VK4DMC from the Tablelands Radio and Electronics Club in
Far North Queensland reporting from Innot Hot Springs, located at grid-square
QH22oi, where this weekend we are taking part in the John Moyle Memorial
Field day contest.
We arrived here on Friday and set up our field station and after much fun
getting various antennas located on portable towers and not so portable trees
we were on air for the start of the contest at 0100 UTC Saturday.
So far we have made many contacts, using our club call-sign VK4WAT, into
most VK call areas and international stations being worked as well.
Innot Hot Springs is known for its hot thermal springs and many of our
members have spent time simply soaking in the invigorating hot mineral spas.
This has been an added bonus and is helping to re-invigorate our operators
for their next stint on the microphone. Listen out for VK4WAT and say G'day.
This has been Dale VK4DMC.
