TARC members, visitors, friends and support crews are operating from
Toumalla Beach Camping Grounds for this weekends John Moyle Field Day.
A change of venue was forced upon them due to road building operations
at Keelbottom Creek! So there is nothing like a sudden change of
plans to test the preparedness of Amateur Radio field operations.
You are invited to either travel out along the Bruce Highway and turn
off a bit south of Rollingstone to go and visit the Field Day Station,
or fire up the HF from home and make a few contacts with VK4WIT out in
the field.
VK4WIT has been operating since 11am on Saturday and will finish
on-air operations today at 11am, so you don't have much time to visit
the Field Day Station or make contact with it.
Try 7080kHz if you can't spot them on any other bands !

demonstration... and rate it an out-standing Technical evening....
and as there will be plenty of time for questions and answers...

By-the-way... AS the QDG is highly organised... they will be holding a
very SHORT Annual General Meeting before hand... so as Quoram numbers
are important... come out of the wood-work and make Friday 21st ...
a very memorable Technical evening... and as Brian VK4DFD said last week...
don't worry... you won't be pressured into anything... as those retiring
from office... will be available for re-election... AND... they will be
starting... on time!
If you don't like driving at night... or have trouble with transport...
why not contact a few old Mates... to organise and enjoy... an evening out
