WICEN News

This  is  a  reminder  that the Sydney WICEN repeater on channels
7150/8275 is now back on air following extended repairs and main-
tenance; signal reports would be appreciated.

There  are  no  new events on the WICEN calendar in the immediate
future, so in the  meantime  here  are  the  events  this  month.
Hunter  WICEN  meet  on  Monday, and Pauline VK2GTB will make you
welcome; and Sydney South will have their AGM  on  Tuesday,  with
Kevin  VK2CKD  in  the  hot-seat.  Those members who are also in-
volved with other emergency services may  be  interested  in  the
"Rescue  Expo" at Darling Harbour next Sunday, 21st August.  This
is followed by the Windsor-Sackville Regatta on Saturday 27th Au-
gust,  from  0730 to 1330.  Contact details are scanty at the mo-
ment, but interested personnel may contact  John  Buxton  VK2GJB.
Also,  don't forget that contributions to the newsletter close on
30th August.
