Once again we have been asked to supply communications for the “ Big Country
Horse Endurance Ride ö, which is held in the bush land in and around Spring
Mountain area, just Southwest of Brisbane. This year it is to be run on the
Weekend of 21st and 22nd June.
We are in need of about 10 Operators either Amateurs to work mainly on
146.MHz, or 70cm and or CB operators using some of the simplex UHF CB
frequencies.
Unfortunately I will be in Greenslopes Private Hospital undergoing some
Major Surgery, so Andrew VK4BO will be the contact point and liaison between
the Club and the Endurance organizers.
As usual most checkpoints only need to be manned for 2 to 3 hours then you can
be moved to another post or elect to go home, PLEASE advise Andrew of your
hours of availability.
First checkpoint time needs to be onsite about 05:30 and should be clear about
09:00 +-.

Our next general meeting on 3rd June features Phil Grimshaw VK4KVK
talking about his antenna books. This will be a great night and something
we should all try and attend.
The club has recently acquired a 4.5m satellite dish that we will be mounting
at the clubrooms for EME communications. This was retrieved from an ex
Telstra building in conjunction with the building owner and Queensland Police.
Wayne VK4WS gave a presentation on EME communications using satellite dishes at
our last meeting and the club is now quite excited about this project. It was
funny how Wayne insisted on being called Fred and wore sunlasses and a hat that
covered his face when the Police were around, can't work that one out.
