DEVIL NEWS � from the North West
The last meeting of the Club saw 23 members and
two visitors present, with apologies from VK7s KY,
AR and OL. Guests were Barry VK7FR and Joe
VK7JG. Joe was representing State Council,
being Guest Speaker for the night.
During the course of the evening, Joe advised
that instead of State Council paying for repeaters
VK7RNW, VK7RAA, etc, each Branch will be
responsible for their own local repeaters. This
matter will be discussed further at the next State
Meeting.
Noel VK7EG, requested the AGM month being
changed and referred to the relevant constitution
reference � this matter is now to go to State as a
Request of Change.
Bruce, the Treasurer reported that the financial
position was satisfactory.
Andrew is having success with repeater
VK7RAD and has had it running on test at his
QTH. It looks as though it will not be too long
before it will be installed on the mountain top.
The new room at the High School is still
progressing well and is becoming more homely
with a donation of carpet from Don VK7DP and
coffee mugs from Andrew VK7ZAR
The News Coordinator requests to hear from
people who are willing to do relays for him when
the North West has news � please ring Arthur if
you can help.
There was considerable discussion when Ron
VK7RN suggested that the broadcasts were not
as good since they had been taped.
Joe VK7JG, spoke about Federal News and
advised that the Federal Office has opened a
Bulletin Board using a computer modem and
suitable program for receiving news.
He also spoke about examinations and the 1988
Federal Convention, which will be held in
Canberra.
Thanks go to Greg VK7ZBT for his assistance
with these notes. If any other branch members
have any news please contact VK7KY, QTHR.
