Hi - you're listening to QNEWS for week of Sunday 16 November 2025 and I'm John VK4JPM with some info from the Darlin Downs Radio Club. But first a shout-out to all club officers and committees in Queensland. QNEWS is a great way to get club info to a wide audience, and it's surprised me that so few other clubs use it. It's one of the things that we might address at a meeting of club officers in the future, but how about an offer? If your club has meetings coming up, or if you have activities

Hi everyone, and welcome to the Darling Downs Radio Club corner of QNEWS for week beginning 5 October 2025. Daylight saving has started in Oz, but doesn't stop in Europe until 26 October, and in North America it stops on 2 November. Of course none of this affects the way the bands behave, and as far as our experiments confirm daylight saving does not fade curtains or curdle milk. But it does make phoning interstate more confusing. Just a tip that all our dates and times will be in invariant

Hello, I’m Geoff Emery, VK4ZPP, and I’ve been thinking. Well, the calendar starts a new month and a new season. I have been noticing some of the native plants starting to bloom for the past couple of weeks. Traditionally, Spring is a time of renewal and regrowth, and for those of us living in areas where chills and frosts can settle, it will be good not to have the tingle of cold weather when we venture out in the morning. One of the things that amateur radio is historically known for is

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
