WANSARC October Meeting Cancelled

Regrettably, due to the ongoing COVID-19 lockdown, our October meeting has been cancelled.

All is not lost.

The club will be running two nets on October 1, 2021, in lieu of the normal club meeting.

The first net will be held at 8.00pm local time via the Mount Macedon VK3RMM repeater. The input frequency is 147.850MHz and the output 147.250MHz. VK3RMM is an open repeater with no tone access required.

The second net will be held at 9.00pm local time on 3.685MHz +/- QRM. Net control on both nets will be VK3AWS, club station of WANSARC.

So why not pop in and have a say? You will be most welcome.

WANSARC September Meeting cancelled

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 lockdown in Victoria, our next meeting, scheduled for Friday 3rd of September, has been cancelled.

In the meantime, the club will conduct not one, but two, nets on Friday 3rd of September.

The first will be at 8:00 pm local time on the VK3RMM Mt Macedon repeater. The Mt Macedon repeater has extensive coverage over the north and western suburbs of Melbourne and should be accessible by all members in the club. The input frequency is 147.850 MHz on 2 metres and the output frequency is 147.250 MHz. The repeater does not require any tone access.

At 9:00 pm local time the second net will occur on HF, using the frequency of 3.685 MHz on 80 metres. This is the same frequency that the club uses for regular Tuesday evening nets.

Celebrating 50 years of WANSARC

Thanks to the Australian Maritime College and ACMA, the club has applied successfully for a special callsign to celebrate WANSARC’s 50^th anniversary.

VI50AWS will be operational from 0001 1 March 2020 until 2359 31 August 2020.

In that time the club will take every opportunity to have the celebratory callsign on air.
