- Curly Wind Season is coming, so it's a good time to get prepared anyway.
Have you checked your shack and your antenna to see how they will go during the next wet season ?
Its always a good time to make stock up, charge batteries and get ready for action !
Get on air - scare the spiders and lizards out of the rig and make sure your transciever works.
- WICEN NET
WICEN operators in Queensland hold a net every Sunday
The nets happen on
14125kHz from 8-00am (2200UTC)
7105kHz +/- QRM from 8-30am (2230UTC)
The net control station VK4WI calls in regular stations and then invites
new stations to call in.
If conditions are poor on 7MHz, other relay stations will attempt to
assist contacts. If conditions are very poor on 7MHz Net Control might move
the net to around 3600kHz depending on how pliable the net participants are.
Mix it with other WICEN ops and call in on the net !!
Emergency Frequencies per IARU region - active during disasters
IARU Region 1 3760 7110 14300 18160 21360 kHz
IARU Region 2 3750 3985 7060 7240 7275 14300 18160 21360
IARU Region 3 3600 7110 14300 18160 21360
VK is in Region 3
Other frequencies could be activated on a per country basis -
stay tuned to the WIA News for activations.
