Board Comment ATO Not-for-Profit Self-Review Due - VK5GK.
Fellow Members and Friends of WIA; This important reminder from the ATO
underscores a vital responsibility for all non-charitable not-for-profit
clubs and societies: the annual self-review confirming eligibility for
income tax exemption.
wia.org.au
As the national body representing amateur radio in Australia, the
WIA Board emphasizes the importance of compliance with this requirement:
The 2024-25 NFP self-review return must be lodged by 31 October 2025.
Penalties may apply for late lodgement, so timeliness is essential.
Lodgement options include using Online Services for Business (MyGovID),
via a registered tax agent, or via the ATOs automated phone service for
those without online access.
To all affiliated clubs, branches, and associations under the WIA
umbrella, we strongly encourage:
1. Immediate action if you have not yet lodged for 2024-25, do so
without delay.
2. Pass this information along to your respective executives and
officers, particularly if theres been turnover in your committee
roles.
3. Seek assistance if needed the ATO and WIA can provide guidance.
The Board will ensure that WIAs own internal compliance and reporting
are fully aligned, and we stand ready to assist member organisations in
meeting their obligations. Lets ensure all our clubs remain in good
standing with the ATO and avoid unnecessary penalties or complications.
Thank you for your attention and prompt action.
On behalf of the WIA Board (de VK5GK)
TALKING POINT - JOHN VK4JPM
Hi - this is John, VK4JPM - wearing my hat as President of Darling Downs Radio Club, but talking to clubs and club members everywhere.
People become members of a club for all kinds of reasons. Technical is one of them - access to knowledge and skills and experience of those who have trodden paths before, as was made blatantly apparent to me this week when a fellow club member and mate spotted a problem with my HF rig in a way that I would never have found in a million years. And now it's fixed. That's the benefit of being part of a network.
Just as importantly, people join clubs to be social. In fact, my observation has been that the more social a club is, the more likely it is to be strong and vibrant, and attract members. And a club with members gets the attention of the non-club people whose support you probably need - like councils, and other service clubs, and local businesses.
But how do you create a solid social environment? By doing interesting things. That takes a bit of work, especially to get started, but after a while - which might be a year or two - the activities becomes self-sustaining. That's good for everyone. What's interesting? Running regular interesting meetings is one obvious opportunity, and if you don't know what's interesting go and have a look at the websites of other clubs and steal their ideas. Maybe even reach out to the same speakers to see if they will repeat the presentation for your club. And run meetings with telepresence, like Zoom or Google Meet.
Regular lunches or dinners are a great way to get together. And if you're a non-metro club, and your members are distributed across tens or hundreds of kilometers, you can use telepresence to have virtual social gatherings - just as we learned to do during the many lockdowns of 2020.
Our club ran a Fox Hunt and BBQ earlier in the year, and that was massively successful. We're planning an end-of-year event based on the same process.
But the biggest gains come when you think really big. The Darling Downs Radio Club recently had the opportunity to be part of the Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers. We started by wondering if we could help with communications and marshalling - the traditional skills of a radio club. But since that was largely covered by others, we looked further and realised that we could actually be IN the parade with a float. A bit more of the story about what we did - and the video of how we looked - is on our website at ddrci.org.au. If we'd just done comms, hardly anyone would have seen us. By leaping for a higher bar, we were seen by tens of thousands of people, the council knows exactly who we are now, we attracted a few more members, we have the attention of several businesses and partners, and we created new merch. Everyone benefits. Oh, and those of us who were in the parade had a REALLY good time.
So if you're a member of a club, on the committee of a club, or an outsider looking for ways to make things more interesting: go social!
I'd love to know what you think. secretary@ddrci.org.au and look for the Parade story on our website at ddrci.org.au.
I'm John VK4JPM for the Darling Downs Radio Club... but really for ham radio all over the country. Let's have fun with our hobby.
AUSTRALIANA
At the International Astronautical Congress (IAC) taking place in Sydney this week, representatives from the United States and Australia gathered to sign a framework agreement that strengthens collaboration in aeronautics and space exploration between the two nations.
Acting NASA Administrator Sean Duffy and Australian Space Agency Head Enrico Palermo signed the agreement Tuesday on behalf of their countries, respectively.
Australia is an important and long-time space partner, from Apollo to Artemis, and this agreement depends on that partnership, said Duffy. International agreements like this one work to leverage our resources and increase our capacities and scientific returns for all, proving critical to NASAs plans from low Earth orbit to the Moon, Mars, and beyond.
Australian Minister for Industry and Innovation and Minister for Science Tim Ayres said the signing builds on more than half a century of collaboration between the two nations.
Strengthening Australias partnership with the U.S. and NASA creates new opportunities for Australian ideas and technologies, improving Australias industrial capability, boosting productivity, and building economic resilience, Ayres said.
Known as the Framework Agreement between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of Australia on Cooperation in Aeronautics and the Exploration and Use of Airspace and Outer Space for Peaceful Purposes, it recognizes cooperation thats mutually beneficial for the U.S. and Australia and establishes the legal framework under which the countries will work together.
Potential areas for cooperation include space exploration, space science, Earth science including geodesy, space medicine and life sciences, aeronautics research, and technology.
NASA has collaborated with Australia on civil space activities since 1960, when the two countries signed their first cooperative space agreement. The Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex played a vital role in supporting NASAs Apollo Program, most notably during the Apollo 13 mission. Today, the complex is one of three global stations in NASAs Deep Space Network, supporting both robotic and human spaceflight missions.
One of the original signatories to the Artemis Accords, Australia joined the United States under President Donald Trump and six other nations in October 2020, in supporting a basic set of principles for the safe and responsible use of space. Global space leaders from many of the 56 signatory countries met at IAC in Sydney this week to further their implementation.
As part of an existing partnership with the Australian Space Agency, Australia is developing a semi-autonomous lunar rover, which will carry a NASA analysis instrument intended to demonstrate technology for scientific and exploration purposes. The rover is scheduled to launch by the end of this decade through NASAs CLPS (Commercial Lunar Payload Services) initiative.
NASAs international partnerships reflect the agencys commitment to peaceful, collaborative space exploration. Building on a legacy of cooperation, from the space shuttle to the International Space Station and now Artemis, international partnerships support NASAs plans for lunar exploration under the Artemis campaign and future human exploration of Mars.

Ray Pratt, 92, has made friends with fellow radio users all over the world for more than four decades. But the wheelchair user says this vital link could now be severed as Stockton Council would not let him keep the two poles supporting an antenna in his back garden.
No neighbours put objections in to the widower and great-grandfather's planning application. But the council rejected it, saying the slim metal 10m and 7.5m "masts" outside his bungalow were clearly visible over fences, from gardens and above rooftops. Planning officers argued the structures were "lightweight and slender" but 3.7m taller than the bungalows. They said the poles "would dominate the rear gardens harming their enjoyment for the neighbouring residents."
Ray, a former fisherman and tanker driver who has served in the Merchant Navy, said: "They've told me to take it down. It's my life. I think it's disastrous. It's taken away my life. I'm 92, I probably haven't got long to go and they're going to deny me the little bit I've got left." Ray has his radio equipment set up in a back room and logs all his contacts on the airwaves each day. He said: "I can be here for hours, if the conditions are good, just talking to people."
The RSGB was pleased to welcome Callum Anderson, MP for Buckingham and
Bletchley, to the RSGB National Radio Centre at Bletchley Park recently.
Callum enjoyed seeing the history of radio, watching live CW contacts and
listening to his voice coming back from space, having been relayed via
satellite.
Callum was invited to meet a small group of senior RSGB representatives
who emphasised the important role of amateur radio in encouraging young
people into an engineering career. Getting involved in Science,
Technology, Engineering and Maths activities gives a great foundation
that could lead some young people to follow in the footsteps of radio
amateur pioneers who led the development of many wireless technologies
that we rely on today the RSGB emphasised.
Most importantly the visit gave the RSGB an opportunity to show the
problems that Electro Magnetic Disturbance can cause to wireless
reception. Examples of EMD include household appliances, Broadband FTTC
and green energy from solar panels and windfarms, where the signal levels
are thousands of times stronger than the expected levels given in
ITU recommendations. EMC Chair John Rogers M0JAV and Board Chair
Stewart Bryant G3YSX explained that unless the year-on-year increases in
background noise are stopped, many critical services and infrastructures
could be impacted soon, just as our amateur radio bands are today.
The RSGB looks forward to meeting again with Callum who is also the
Parliamentary Private Secretary for Science, Innovation and Technology.
Gear Packed for 3YK DXpedition to Bouvet in February 2026
The 3YK DXpedition to Bouvet Island has packed its shipping container of
gear. The team spent a weekend near Oslo, Norway, getting things ready,
including generators, tents, tools and most importantly, radios, antennas
and amplifiers.
This checks off another large box on the to-do list before they depart in
February next year.
This international team of radio amateurs is aiming to activate the tenth
most-wanted DX entity, Bouvet Island, with 24 operators, two camps and a
load of gear, they hope to provide a lot of QSOs to those who need the
entity for their DXCC totals.
Bouvet is in the South Atlantic Ocean, 2,575 km from Cape Town and
1,609 km north of continental Antarctica.
ARRL Education and Learning Support Specialist Max Freedman, N4ML, is
part of the team. At one plus twenty years of age, he will be the
youngest person to EVER set foot on the island and is the youngest
operator known in a top 10 DXpedition.

TuneIn is teaming up with the USA's Federal Emergency Management Agencys
Integrated Public Alert and Warning System to deliver emergency alerts through its Android Auto TuneIn app.
The streaming audio platform heralded the announcement as an important step forward as the industry shifts toward digital-first audio experiences.
TuneIns internet-based service delivers reliable audio quality and broader coverage than traditional radio, especially in areas where terrestrial signals may be limited, a release said.
The feature offers IPAWS alerts from the local, state, tribal and federal agency level to TuneIn users in affected areas. It is available to auto manufacturers that integrate TuneIn as part of their vehicle infotainment systems through Android Auto.
A TuneIn spokesperson said the company has no specifics for motorists who use Apple CarPlay for infotainment or phone projection. The spokesperson added that the company is exploring all options.
A US federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to halt layoffs at Voice of America, freezing the planned elimination of 532 full-time staff positions at the US Agency for Global Media. The cuts would have represented most of the agencys remaining employees.
In his written order, Lamberth said he no longer harbors any doubt that the defendants, lack a plan to comply with the preliminary injunction. He accused officials of running out the clock on the fiscal year while remaining in violation of even the most meagre reading of USAGM and Voice of Americas statutory obligations.
The White House criticized the decision in a statement to Reuters, calling Royce, an activist judge who was attempting to subvert the will of the American people.
Under the direction of Trump adviser Kari Lake, approximately 1,400 USAGM employees have been terminated or placed on indefinite leave since March. The cuts included nearly 600 contract employees and most permanent staff, bringing VOAs 49-language service down to just four languages while cancelling contracts with AP, Reuters, and AFP.

NA-063 - SABLE ISLAND -CYS.
DXpeditioners are preparing for next year's trip to Sable Island -- and
they finally have a date. Travis Lisk N3ILS from NewsLine tells us exactly
when it's all happening.
The Sable Island CYS team has announced that their DXpedition has been scheduled for March 19th through to either the 30th or 31st of next year. The operation received its approval this past spring from parks officials in Canada but the dates in March were not set at the time.
The group said that it has been fundraising to cover the higher costs of flights between Halifax, Nova Scotia and the island - a significant increase, they said, since the 2023 DXpedition. The island is about 300 km, or 186 miles, east of Halifax.
The treeless and windy island, best known for its population of wild horses, is expected to pose a number of challenges during the expedition. The team leaders will be Murray WA4DAN and Glenn WGJ. Operators will be joined by a number of members of last year's CY9C DXpedition to St. Paul Island, also off the coast of Nova Scotia.
