VK4 SILENT KEYS (AT) 2009 - 2010 QAC YEAR
Bernie Leech (ex vk4bel) 13/05/2010 Advised by Vk4jdf John.
Welcome to QNews from VK4WIA. I'm Geoff Emery, VK4ZPP and I'm applauding
100 yrs of growth.
Last weekend, as we have heard, marks the centenary of organised amateur
radio in the land down under. With technology tours, ARISS contact and
formal recognition of the history by the WIA at its Canberra meeting, we all
have been privileged to participate in something both historic and
ceremonial.
Live broadcasts are taken for granted these days, in a news hungry world, but
we don't often have the pleasure of such an activity on the amateur bands.
The fact that the radio amateur participates in a practice which incorporates
so much in the wide, wide world from radio astronomy and space
communications to the comfort of the musical and broadcast programs we have
in our homes and with which we travel, seems to take us from vicarious
pleasure to the sense of participation and immediacy that few other hobbies
can.
To all those people who have made the effort to promote this first 100 years
of the hobby, I say thank you. As the year goes on and the voices of VK100WIA
move around the country, let us all reflect and enjoy this year; this is the
year for amateur radio in VKland, for all amateurs.
In remembering the past we must now ask "where to in the future?"
Yes last week the cold of the national capital was offset in shacks around
the country by the live broadcast of WIA National News. Good work and thanks
to all involved from the crew on the ground, in Canberra, to the
re-broadcasters who got the audio to air.
Recently I was lucky enough to be given some old magazines by a fellow
amateur who is having a shack clean-up. One which caught the eye was the
December, 1985 Amateur Radio. Jumping out of the pages was a 2 page photo
spread of the WIA 75th Anniversary Dinner, in Melbourne. Many of the faces
and call signs were familiar but the the last time I saw these same people
they had redecorated themselves and lighter coloured thatch on the roof seems
more popular now.
After the news broadcast it was off to a local radio club meeting. In the
anniversary year there seems to be a cluster of activities over the next few
months, not the least will be the operation of VK100WIA. Plans are afoot to
get the message out about these activities so I expect to hear more on
QNews. I hope you and your club can continue with scripts and audio and we
all can share your activities on the "Q".
I'm Geoff Emery and that's what I think.....how about you?

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 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.
So until next week, for Redcliffe club, I'm Ray VK4CF.
