Successful news cast from Wireless Hill in W.A.
----------------------------------------------
Our  congratulations  to W.A.A.D.C.A.  for the success of  the
RTTY news cast from Wireless Hill in Perth.  It is pleasing to
hear that the coverage is so wide with excellent copy received
all over the metropolitan area. It is indeed an excellent site
and the Perth amateurs should get good value from any and  all
services  provided from there.  That is what you can get  when
people  are  prepared to work and do something to help  fellow
amateurs in the hobby.  Again,  our heartiest  congratulations
for a job well done.  

We  also hear of the social side of the hobby in  Perth,  with
the regular lunchtime get-together of the Old Timers group. Be
nice if we had that here in New South Wales. As far as I know,
not  being  an Old Timer,  is that it is a case of bring  your
sandwiches to Amateur Radio House,  not meet at a place with a
good meal.  Of course, the socialising will be similar but the
venue could be a great deal better, hi hi.  

Thanks to Clem VK6CW for the above information
