Hello, I’m Geoff Emery, VK4ZPP, and I’ve been thinking. I don’t know about you but I find it hard to pull rabbits out of a hat or even hit the ground running, these days. With the best will in the world I can say that things aren’t what they used to be for me 10, 20 years and more ago. The realisation that one’s circumstances are changing is perhaps the sign of maturity or for some, I believe, its a shock to the whole understanding of life. Now I have raised this contentious subject of age because

Hello, I’m Geoff Emery, VK4ZPP, and I’ve been thinking.Welcome to the new WIA Board who have been getting the feel of the mood in Bundaberg at the Annual General Meeting and associated events. We wish them a very productive and successful year ahead. With the benefit of the experience of the longer serving members the new members face the task of assuming the roles of directors and also the thrill and pressures of being advocates of the Australian Amateur Radio Community. One of the tasks that we

Hello, I’m Geoff Emery, VK4ZPP, and I’ve been thinking. As the Rum City, Bundaberg, prepares to host the annual general meeting of the Wireless Institute it is perhaps the right time for us to think about what we would like to see happen for amateur radio in the next 12 months. There are matters that will need improvement and there are matters that need attention and there will be matters that have been neglected. As a new Board takes over the process of representing all Australian amateurs it is up

VK4JDJ Dennis Bauer SK 12 April Dennis grew up in Northern Queensland and in his early years lived in a small community on the Palmerston Range where it rained nearly all year which made for interesting bus rides on the muddy road to school. Dennis led a life of various jobs on cattle properties, drilling camps, road maintenance work and hotel work and picked up a range of varied skills. On one occasion Dennis designed a full wave 80 meter horizontal loop antenna with support posts which was huge

Hello, I’m Geoff Emery, VK4ZPP, and I’ve been thinking.In this great information age powered by the digital revolution and the internet, there is undoubtedly the greatest access to the most information that the world has known. That is not hyperbole or in the more modern jargon, clickbait. It is a fact that the amount of data grows exponentially each and every day and in fact the data storage and processing is being classed as a climate change factor by reason of the electricity that is used, the

Hello, I’m Geoff Emery, VK4ZPP, and I’ve been thinking.How time flies when you are having fun, goes the old expression and here it is a week on from the pranksters’ favourite day of the year. I saw some amusing posts and some that were a little hard to place in the April Fool genre, this year round. Still, no doubt many people managed to get “caught” out by the pranks and provide a good laugh at themselves. At the moment, the weather seems to be celebrating the great US Groundhog Day with barely

Hello, I’m Geoff Emery, VK4ZPP, and I’ve been thinking.One of the great things about institutions is that they carry their foundation history with them as they grow and develop to meet the changes that come with time. So I think it is a good thing that amateur radio manages to integrate so much of it history as it embraces the development of communications available to us. When we use “Q-codes” we are maintaining a link with the telegraphists of almost 200 years ago. When we operate digital modes

Hello, I’m Geoff Emery, VK4ZPP, and I’ve been thinking.Well, here it is already, the autumn season that used to herald cooler weather as we rotated into winter. The Bureau of Meteorology has released its quarterly outlook and we can expect weather that is likely to be drier than our summer but still giving us warmer nights than usual. For the night owl operators, that might suggest a further degree of discomfort or comfort, depending on individual locations. One thing that we can do personally or

Hello, I’m Geoff Emery, VK4ZPP, and I’ve been thinking. In the world of family-owned businesses such as pastoral holdings, we often hear the term “succession planning” used. It is not simply something to think about in terms of Monopoly board finances but something that affects each of us in different ways. As members of clubs, the incorporation documents will include terms under which the assets will be distributed in the event of closing down. Personally, the same need is met by the legal document

This is Graham VK4CEG for the Brisbane Amateur Radio Club. It was an excellent first day back at Brisbane Amateur Radio Club. Rick, S77RP, VK4HC when in Australia, visited from the Saychelles. We contacted two stations in the Saychelles on 20, 15, 24, and 10 meters using the Club station VK4BA. Several members all took turns passing the microphone around. Surprisingly 10 meters was excellent armchair copy from Brisbane. On the same day, Michael, VK4MWL showed his home built VHF UHF antenna and

Hello, I’m Geoff Emery, VK4ZPP, and I’ve been thinking. Soon we should know if the weather is giving us another featured event with the formation of a new cyclone on the east coast. It seems that the El Nino pattern has confused many into thinking it must be dry. Like so much about the natural world, the climate sciences are dealing with unthinkable numbers of variables when they look for patterns and then develop predictions over long and short terms. In some ways, it would seem that predicting

Peter Lord, VK3FPL/4 moved some 25 years ago to Queensland for his retirement, living at Gilston in the Gold Coast hinterland. He was active on all bands to UHF, with many HF skeds to friends bank home in Melbourne.
