WICEN News

This is supposed to be a quiet time for WICEN, but in the past we
have had fire, flood, tempest, and earthquake around this time of
the year; about all that is left is famine (unfortunately, we may
already have this in the form of the drought) and  plague  (hope-
fully WICEN will not be involved in that one!), so do not be com-
placent; keep your equipment ready at all times for a sudden  ac-
tivation.

Members  are reminded that the closing date for the Newsletter is
this Wednesday.

For next month, there is the Blue Mountains meeting on Monday 5th
December  (and  what appears to be a variety of Christmas parties
by various Clubs).  Also, WICEN has been requested to assist with
the  NSW  Water  Ski Association "Lion Island Classic", on Sunday
11th December 1994.  Along with the usual 2m  requirements,  long
distance   communications  are  required  from  Croppy  Point  to
Laughtondale, and this will probably involve 80m.  At  least  six
personnel  are  required, from 0900 to 1430, and those interested
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.

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.
