Reference the Geraldton Amateur Radio Group - We still exist!


We meet bi-monthly February through to December
usually the first Sunday evening of the month
but it is sometimes changed because of public holidays and the like.

Repeaters
VK6RGN - 147.000 MHz - Geraldton
VK6RNR - 146.675 MHz - Northampton

VK6RGN has moved back to the Moresby Range again
but independent of any other organisation for housing or power.
We wish to thank Bev VK6DE for providing it with a home for some time.

The foundation for the cabinet is in place and a new repeater
based on two Tait ex-commercial sets has been made up.
The ID will be at 10 wpm Morse and also by a voice announcement.
The Northampton repeater already has a voice ID.

Our technical officer is Graham Drage VK6KAE and it is Graham
that we have to thank for the new repeater construction and installation.

We no longer have any input into Exams or training
and there is no one under the new rules
capable of supervision or examination invigilation.

We are all old-timers and support one another but
younger people would be encouraged to join and participate.

However, without the teaching and examination facilities
we can not see the group running for a lot longer.

We are compiling a history of the GARG with the assistance of Ian Clinch
who was a member in the 1960's and has now moved from Greenough to Geraldton
and has shown interest in resuming his connections.



Mid West Amateur Radio Group

are the three active members in the area
so the group is virtually inactive

They continue to maintain the voice repeaters
VK6RWP - Karratha
VK6RWR - Wickham
and the IRLP node will be back on air
in the next week or so on 146.700

Dave has recently been approved as an
Assessor for the WIA Exam Service

 The Hills Amateur Radio Group was formed in 1983

 with its primary objective being
 "to bring together Amateur Radio Operators

 Citizen Band Operators wishing to upgrade to Amateur Radio Status
 and Shortwave Listeners
 in the maintenance and furtherance of the amateur radio spirit"

By and large this is still the primary objective of the club. In practice,
HARG has evolved into an organisation that provides a venue
and structure for local amateurs to meet socially on a regular basis.

The club is in the process of establishing a fully operational
user friendly hamshack at the Paxhill Guide Hall.
Vistors and prospective new members are welcome.
There are no geographical restrictions on membership.
