Hi all
This is a re-send of my previous email to remind you we hope to be on-air
and on-line from about 1200 UTC this coming Thursday, if not then,
as soon as possible after. We're scheduled to commence sometime Friday.
There are some 850 Venturers and 300+ Leaders involved, so we expect to
be busy.
I've sent this mail to several lists, so I apologise if you receive
multiple copies.
Yours in Scouting

Amateur Radio Shack. These will be in operation from Friday 9th to

The Internet Cafe will enable the Venturers to catch up with email,
blogs etc. chat online, and chill out.
The Amateur Radio Shack will be on-air from Friday 9th January until
Wednesday 14th January 2009.
We will be using the callsign VK6SAA

hoping to get a 25 year certificate from ARISS, and maybe also a few
QSOs via repeaters on board satellites.
