Hello, I’m Geoff Emery, VK4ZPP, and I’ve been thinking.I had an event in the past week that made me consider the importance of diversity. What I mean is that for my video watching I basically depend on YouTube which is a subsidiary of the megalith we remember as Google. I had accumulated a number of amateur radio videos that I kept for reference on various subjects and it was handy to have this library of a few dozen items when I wanted to review my understanding of different subject. Then I

Hello, I’m Geoff Emery, VK4ZPP, and I’ve been thinking. One of the treats of amateur radio is to take part in the recognition of special interest groups. Sometimes it is a contest with a certificate as a memento and sometimes it is just knowing you were there on a special day. This weekend has been one of these events and the special interest group is a small one which aims to unite others in promoting and enjoying the spirit of amateur radio. Of course, I refer to the Ladies Amateur Radio

Hello, I’m Geoff Emery, VK4ZPP, and I’ve been thinking. One of the challenges of our activity is to work out what is an improvement. If you are engaged in many sports, the aim is to improve the score whether it is getting a higher number of points, a lower handicap or reeling in a bigger fish on a lighter line. We tinkerers in the electronics field are in a position where innovation and equipment upgrades don’t necessarily indicate a better outcome. The adoption of commonplace hardware has been

Hello, I’m Geoff Emery, VK4ZPP, and I’ve been thinking. There is the old saying that a change is as good as a holiday. One thing we can all say is that we have lived through many changes and some are more momentous than others, of course. Take, for example, the transition from analogue TV to digital. It created a bit of a ripple for people getting set-top boxes to tune in the new services or they had to replace their existing receiver with what seemed a much more expensive unit. This was at a time

Hello, I’m Geoff Emery, VK4ZPP, and I’ve been thinking.Welcome to the end, no not the Universe but the end of the financial year when wage earners and small businesses collect those important documents that support the claims that will bolster the hoped for tax return. There is an area which we should all spend some time on when we think about building our clubs. That is something called group dynamics.

Hello, I’m Geoff Emery, VK4ZPP, and I’ve been thinking. One of the basics of marketing is getting to know your customer base and being able to promote a not-for-profit activity surely falls into that category. Whether we look at our local club level or at a hierarchy which includes state and federal structures, it is being able to relate to our members that can make or break a marketing campaign. Amateur radio is something that has grown around the world for over 100 years and it is something that

WAR on TOWNSVILLE: 29th. July 1942. In the early morning hours of the 29th. July 1942 a Japanese aircraft dropped eight x 250 lbs. bombs, supposedly on Townsville Q. Seven of the bombs fell in Cleveland Bay and the eighth bomb fell on Oonoomba, a suburb of Townsville. Thankfully the damage caused was a crater and the destruction of one palm tree.

The forecaster tell us that the systems have changed from high pressure influences in the Great Australian Bite to low pressure but it still seems like an ever repeating sequence.
