Hello, I’m Geoff Emery, VK4ZPP, and I’ve been thinking.We use them every day and they are tools for communication and sharing ideas and we call them words. One of the big things about words are that they can convey meanings and promote actions both good and less than good. We like to think that we are progressive in our approach to amateur radio and its growth in the community. So let’s look at a word. Incentive. Here is a word with ideas that suggests the possibility of growth, of achieving

Welcome to the Darling Downs Radio Club's contribution to QNEWS for Sunday, 20 July. I'm John VK4JPM, Secretary of the Club. It's a month since the equinox, and I bet all of us with solar panels are looking forward to the sun being higher in the sky. Speaking of solar, last week's talk on The Grid by Peter VK4EA was brilliant. It appears that our telepresence outreach is improving, as we had a full house in the room and almost as many people online. We're working to keep that up, and it's going to

Peter Stevens VK4BT passed away last May 15th. He would have made it to 73 years in November. We had a memorial service for him June 11th which was packed to the rafters. Pete was in a wheel chair after an accident in his early 20's, but talking to him on the radio you'd never really know it. Possibly the best eulogy as far as Pete's amateur radio activities was given by old mate Reg VK2MNM who started with one of Pete's normal tongue in cheek wisecracks given to him almost every day ... "so Reg,

This is Allan VK4HIT with news from Ipswich and District Radio Club. Another month and another business meeting was held on May 26 at the clubhouse, with others joining via Zoom. From Ipswich WICEN, a reminder that the biggest event of the year is the annual Guzzler on July 19 and 20. Currently, there are about 14 volunteers, but 24 is the number needed to cover all safety checkpoints.

Hi - I'm John VK4JPM, Secretary of the Darling Downs Radio Club. I should lead by congratulating the WIA on the weekend in Bendigo. We had a really good and interesting AGM, and a very impressive after-dinner presentation involving Amateur Radio, an astronaut, and a room full of young people who are on a STEM track - that's Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths. What's not to like about an event which brings all those together?This month, we look at how we can be better at supporting

Hi from the Darling Downs Radio Club - I’m Secretary, John VK4JPM. This coming weekend, there are two major club activities: Next Saturday, the 10th of May, we have our first annual club foxhunt and BBQ. Well, you have to start somewhere, and in the case of the DDRCI foxhunt, we're starting at Peacehaven Botanic Park on Kuhls Rd in Highfields. Start time of 1030 is when hounds depart for the chase, so you'd want to be in the car park maybe around 1000. Bruce VK4MQ is our hunt-master, and he's mapped

Hello, I’m Geoff Emery, VK4ZPP, and I’ve been thinking.Well the space weather is jostling us about with interesting solar activities over the past week. This is a great challenge for the DX chaser on the shortwave bands as conditions can vary in short order with coronal mass ejections causing ionising effects in the atmosphere. The next couple of days could be amazing as we get the benefits of solar flares which continue in this cycle. This is a rare happening when we have two consecutive long

Hello, I’m Geoff Emery, VK4ZPP, and I’ve been thinking.In the world of politics, people have sought to clarify the meaning of what their government and people have embraced as guiding principles. After the blood bath that was the French Revolution, the country became known for its three word motto which upheld freedom, equality and brotherhood. The Declaration of Independence of the United States similarly tries to have its principles adhere to this style of governance with many more
