DID YOU TELL ANYONE ABOUT AMATEUR RADIO THIS WEEK?

AR MAGAZINE—VK4 QTC COLUMN

Welcome to QNews from VK4WIA. I'm Geoff Emery, VK4ZPP and I've been thinking
about growing club membership.
Over the years we have seen some radio clubs "dis-incorporate" as numbers and
interest in specific areas has dropped off. Some of these former bodies continue
as social entities and this raises the questions of size and continuity. If our
club is too small, it is extremely hard to complete the necessary organisational
tasks as well provide the social glue that binds a group. Also it often means
that certain people become fixtures in doing those jobs and training up others
to keep the group running in coming years, just doesn't happen.
Like many other things, it is really not whether the jobs are being done well
but whether they are recognised as being done, well or not. As club members we
need to be honest enough to give praise when it works and ask the right
questions when it falters.
As club members we need to nurture our comrades and gather new faces. We need
to involve the converted and invite the interested.
Have you told some-one about amateur radio, this week?
I'm Geoff Emery and that's what I think......how about you?
CLUBBING -
Redcliffe and District Radio Club

I'm Ray VK4CF with news from the Redcliffe AR Club.
At last Monday night’s meeting, Peter VK4EA presented a slide presentation on
the new repeaters cavities & setup of the equipment at the repeater site.
Despite local cleaning around the site for the elimination of weeds and grass,
all the work on the upgrade of the club’s repeater is now been completed.
Club Secretary, Peter, VK4TAA, advised the meeting of the club’s AGM to be held
at the club rooms on Monday 21st June. Nominations forms for elected positions
can be obtained directly from Peter via the club’s website.
Next Monday 17 May will be the visit to the Brisbane airport traffic control
tower. Those going are asked to meet at the club car park at 6pm – 6.15pm and a
car pool will operate to take members to the venue. There are still several
spots open for the air traffic control visit so contact Scotty, VK4FLAE or
Charlie VK4YZ know if you will be going.
The 3rd Monday of each month is a technical talk held at the club rooms.
In June the tech talk night will be the 2nd Monday 14/6/10, due to AGM and
James, VK4TJF will present Amateur DXing, DXpeditions and QSL cards.
Later in the year in August, Kevin VK4UH will discuss the DX Expedition to
Norfolk Island and in September, Peter VK4TGV will discuss the Codan NGT radio
and modems.
VK100WIA – 100 years of amateur radio. Kev VK4UH will be leading the club’s
hosting of the event on 30 August to 1 September 2010.
Peter VK4HOY, will hold a BBQ for the Club Monday 7th June starting 6pm at the
club, followed by the usual club meeting. There will be rissoles, salad,
buns Tea, coffee & soft drinks etc. This is a fund raising exercise for the
club & proceeds will go direct to the club for equipment purchases. A suggested
$5 for food plus usual club drink prices will apply. Please let Peter, VK4TAA,
know by email if you are attending for the catering.
A working bee will be held at the club on Monday 14th June starting at 9am at
the club. It is planned to relocate the mast, re-install the triband antenna &
a series of new roof mounted antennas. The club will also conduct its yearly
spring clean. This a large commitment so many hands are needed on deck to help.
There will be the usual free sausage sizzle for the workers.
