The second part of a talk with Jeff vk4xjj who made it walking all the
way south to north will be talking
of his experiences on the F Troop net at 7.30pm Tuesday evening on
146.700Mhz.
He has a very interesting website which I am sure after you have
listened to him you will
want to see what is there.

Last night was a very successful film and social night at the Clubrooms
and this was arranged by our
President Paul vk2EX. There was a great BYO, BBQ which was well
attended, 2 movies, gourmet coffee,
raffle etc and a good night was had by all. It was great to get
together with other members for a grand time.
Next Saturday 27th June, there will be a General meeting 10am at the
Clubrooms followed by a BBQ and we
look to as many members as possible to come along and find out what is
happening at the Club.
The Alara Birthday festivities will be held once again at the Clubrooms
on Saturday 17th July 2009. We look for as
many Alara Ladies as possible to attend the party, which commences at
11.30am. OM's are welcome and there
will be a BBQ for them at a cost of $3 and proceeds will go to the
club. There will be a raffle which has been kindly donated.

To all the people who returned their survey forms to help prepare a submission
for the WIA, a big thank you from GCEG. It is heartening that so many members
have taken the time to think over how we, the amateur community, can
contribute to growing our hobby. One thing that seems apparent from the early
reading of the forms is that there still remains confusion about the new
federal structure of the Institute and long term amateurs as well as newer
amateurs find it hard to differentiate between the way things were and how
they operate today. This would seem one area that both at club level and
national level we must explain ourselves better.
It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words and it might be something
to ponder on whether a chart or other graphical poster would more simply
explain how our hobby structures itself in VKland.
The Monday night net, once again had a good roll up and one topic that flowed
on to discussion after the net had officially closed was the possibility of
having a Fraser Coast/Wide Bay Net on HF. With the growing numbers of people
getting licences between the Sunshine Coast and Bundaberg areas. Harvey,
VK4AHW, SCARC area Trainer and Assessor, was one person who feels that such a
net would benefit new amateurs, especially F-calls in getting familiarity
with HF operations as well as introduce them to other amateurs near to them.
If you would like to see such a net organised, please contact Geoff, VK4ZPP,
either on air or via the enquiries link on the GCEG home page.

A reminder that the next meeting of GCEG is on Thursday 2nd July next in the
basement rooms of Leading Edge Electronics and that the Monday night net is
held at 7.30 p.m. on VK4RCM, 146.725MHz.

Redcliffe and District Radio Club
Hello I’m Ray VK4CF with news from Redcliffe Radio Club.
The club’s AGM was held last Monday 15 June 2009 with some 55 club members
present. It was pleasing to see many partners also present at the meeting.
The new committee was voted in with David VK4DC re-elected club president,
Peter VK4TAA re-elected secretary and Sam, VK4MAS, replacing Glenn,VK4FZ
as treasurer.
The meeting passed a vote of thanks to Glenn VK4FZ, the retiring treasurer,
for his long hours and much hard, “behind the scenesö work over the last
5 years. Glenn also was awarded a certificate of appreciation for all his
work for the club including his work during field days as well as treasurer.
The top award of the night was the Peter Garrison Shield which was presented
by Charlie VK4YZ, to Allan VK4KZ for his re-writing of the advanced licence
training course and his outstanding performance in the training of some 25
foundation and 10 advanced licence holders over the last 12 months. Allan in
his reply speech said that the award was also due in part to the constant
support that he had received from club members including Ken VK4FKEN and a
dedicated team of WIA assessors. He thanked all for the award.
Other award winners were Charles, VK4BTC, Peter, VK4EA, John, VK4YJV,
Peter VK4TAA, and a duel award to Gary, VK4FGAZ and his wife Anita. There
was also a proposal to award life membership of the club to Andy, VK4KY.
David, VK4DC outlined the work Andy has done for the club over a number of
years and the meeting agreed to the proposal with standing applause.
David VK4DC, also advised the meeting of a proposal to hold a car boot sale
later in the year (when the days a little longer and also warmer). All local
Brisbane clubs will be invited as well as all amateurs in the area will be
invited to attend. More details in the future, so don’t dispose of your junk
as they could be someone’s treasure later in the year.
The evening concluded with an unexpected thunderstorm and a fantastic supper
with a large range of cakes and biscuits which was enjoyed by all the members
and their families.
Despite a few hiccups, there was a great response to the efforts of club
members who provided communications with the Sunshine Coast Radio club for
the Great Queensland Bike ride. Noel VK4NL, the communications organizer for
the bike rally, passed on his thanks and the thanks from the organizers as
well for the support provided by club members.
So until next week, this is Ray VK4CF.
