WARG NEWS for the 6th of October… won’t be on NEWSWEST… still not got email sorted… Grrrr!

Hello… from WARG… The next meeting… will be Anthony’s Talk on Repeater Cavities.

Also… of note for WARG Members, we’ve had a request from the 1st Amelia Heights Scout Group… who have done JOTI for a number of years… to see if we (WARG) can be of assistance in helping them to do JOTA as well…

JOTA/JOTI (Jamboree on the Air / Jamboree on the Internet) is an annual world-wide Scout and Guide event, and the JOTA part started in 1958 making this year the 67th one…

It is held annually the third full weekend in October. Making this the 18th-20th. (Well we would be asked to do Sat and Sun… so… 19th and 20th for us)

Here’s a link to learn more about JOTA, from the World Scouting website.

What would WARG be asked to do… well… provide, the shebang… ops, rigs and antennas… come to the meeting and let’s talk about who and what WARG can do for them. Also… listen to the WARG News link below, where I talk a little on the request.


Here is the link to this weeks recording of WARG NEWS… but yeah, nope… email is still failing (I’ve asked for help from M$ – yeah not holding my breath) and I couldn’t make the mid-day Friday deadline to get it down to Clinton… So… please click on this link “http://www.ucc.asn.au/~bastin_mp/2024-10-06-wargnews.mp3” to listen.

The next meeting of WARG is Monday the 7th, next Monday… 1st Pelican Point Sea Scouts Hall, Camp Cornwell, 12 Australia II Drive… Doors open 7pm for a 7:30pm start..

Tea, Coffee and Refreshments available and plenty of time to eyeball both before and after the meeting.

The topic, is roughly…
