WICEN News

We  would  like  to  thank all who took part in last week's Canoe
Classic; we are advised that the event next year will be on  14th
October,  so  hopefully  this  will  not  conflict with any other
event.

This weekend is the WICEN  Co-ordinators  conference  at  Charles
Sturt  University,  Bathurst,  and a full report will appear in a
later broadcast.

WICEN has been requested to assist with the NSW Water Ski Associ-
ation  Ski  Racing Division "Lion Island Classic", on Sunday 11th
December 1994.  Long distance communications  are  required  from
Croppy Point to Laughtondale, and this will probably involve 80m.
Three stations are needed, from 0900 to 1430, and those interest-
ed are invited to contact David Ramsay VK2KLX.

Those regions wishing to have their activities publicised on this
broadcast are requested to get the details to the Publicity Offi-
cer,  Dave VK2KFU, by Thursday night at the latest.  Packet radio
is the preferred medium, to either VK2AAB or VK2OP BBS.  Alterna-
tively, you can use the WICEN telephone BBS.

WICEN is always looking for members to provide the community with
communications assistance.  Write to WICEN (NSW) Inc, PO Box 123,
St  Leonards  2065  for further information, or come up on one of
the WICEN nets: Blue Mountains on the first Monday of each  month
at  8.30pm  on  channel  7175  simplex,  Hunter each Wednesday at
7.30pm on channel 6900, Northern Rivers  each  Wednesday  at  8pm
around 3610 kHz, Central Coast each Thursday at 8.30pm on channel
7125, and Sydney each Thursday at 9.30pm on  channels  7150/8275.
If  there are any other regular nets then we'd like to hear about
them.

WICEN (NSW) Inc. operates a telephone BBS, and it  is  accessible
at  speeds from 300 to 14,400 bps on (02) 888-2763.  Brett VK2XMU
is the "Sysop", and all listeners are invited to  use  it.   Many
programs,  such  as "virus scanners" and "PGP", are available for
downloading.
