MEMBERS
- WORKING BEE
As you are aware there is a working bee planned for Mt
Wombat on Saturday 26th November. Commencement time would be
9.00am so if you can be there by 8.45am then things can get underway
by 9.00am.
Rodney will be attending and will have the new 2m/70cm vertical to
install. This Vertical has been put together at Rodney’s house
and once it is together it is near impossible to pull it apart. Because
of this Rodney has asked if anyone is taking a vehicle up that the
vertical could be strapped to the top of. A van or a larger
4 wheel drive would be required. It is over 5m long. Rodney has just
changed vehicles so his new 4 Wheel drive will probably not have the
racks fitted by the 26th. If anybody can help please contact Rodney
to arrange the details.
The other bit of information that I need to know is actually how many
people we have attending. We need to know how many to cater for. Steve
VK3DAG is taking his BBQ but we need to know how many sausages etc
to buy.
Can you please let me know by return
Email if you are or are not attending.
Thank you for your cooperation

WARNING
ACMA Warns Unlicensed Radio Communicators
Date : 10/ 11/ 2011
Author : Jim Linton - VK3PC
The Australian Communication and Media Authority (ACMA) has issued
warning notices to six radio communications hobbyists, citing
breaches of the Radiocommunications Act. The hobbyists, comprising
those using the Citizen Band (CB) and Amateur Radio frequencies
are from Tasmania, Victoria, New South Wales and South Australia.
The ACMA's Field Operations Sections found each were operating
on High Frequency (HF) frequencies outside the radio bands they
were authorised to use. In addition to warning notices, a number
of non-compliant radio communications devices were surrendered
to the ACMA.
The ACMA said operating non-compliant or modified radio communications
equipment on frequency bands contrary to that specified by a licence
condition, has the potential to cause serious interference to
radio communications services. While the ACMA prefers to educate
those who operate outside licence conditions, it will suspend
or cancel licences, issue infringement notices, or commence prosecutions
for more serious offences.
