I can count on your support for the next 12 months.
        It seems that 35% of last years members have as yet
not paid their subs to the WIA, I am sure that most have
simply forgotten to do so, considering there were no reminders
sent out. Please send your dues NOW! if you have mislaid the
account send your cheque with a note advising them of this.
Remember you can not be a member of a branch unless you are
a WIA member.

        The general meeting followed the AGM. There was very                                        {
little business discussed. As Roger Greenwood was delayed in                                        -
VK3 the auction of his equipment was postponed untill the next
meeting.
        The executive moved that persons seeking membership
should accompany their application where possible, this was
discussed at length and passed.

AOCP,   AOLCP,   NOVICE and C.W.         classes.
           The Northern Branch has              started these classes under the
leadership of Brian VK7ZBY and Ed VK7HE.
           The classes are to be held every Monday evening at
Kings Meadows High School,             block B,           room 35,       and will commence
at 7.30 p.m. with 30 minutes of CW,                       followed by radio theory
for 2 hours.
        It is proposed to use the ARRL handbook as text, if
you haven't got one they can be supplied at a modest price.
           Anyone interested      (including non WIA members)                     are
invited to attend or for further information contact;

    The Anual General Meeting of the North West Branch was held
    on the 9th of March at Lakins Hall, Ulverstone.
            The meeting was poorly attended with only 5 A grade,
    and 10 associate members and visitors, which is very disappointing
    for a AGM when a good attendance is required. A vote of thanks
    is extended to Graham VK7ZAQ for his service over the past years.
            The president was in the chair, as the secretary was
    absent Max VK7MX deputised.

    North West Branch, Presidents Report.
            Gentlemen, it is with pleasure that I present a report
    of the Branches activities over the last 9 months which now
    brings our annual meeting to coincide with the other 2 Branches.
             In July a beacon and repeater committee was formed and
    has since erected a radio shack at Lonah to house a 70cm beacon
    and a 2 metre repeater, both of which are in final stages of
    completion., We anticipate making on air tests in the near future.
            Y.R.C.S. is in full swing after the christmas break with
    an average attendance of 10 members. This has been run almost
    entirely by Graham VK7ZAQ, Adrian VK7ZAT and associate Ivan
    Lamberton. A membership drive has already commenced to at
    least double this number.
            The cancellation of earlier AOCP and Novice licence
    examinations has restricted our growth of operative members
    although we are hopeful of an increase from the February
    examinations. We have also gained an import from Mt.Morgan in
    Kirby VK4ZGR. Membership has otherwise remained stable with an
    average attendance of 18 at monthly meetings.
            The Divisional Hamfest at Richmond which was extremely
    dissapointing, was attended by 6 members and their XYL's.

        The equipment store has again helped to meet the needs
of most members,   the efforts of which are shown in the financial
statement.
        Again we participated in the Jamboree of the air and
the weekly Sunday Broadcast, my thanks to all those concerned.
WICEN has been progressing steadily under the services of
Bob VK7ZJS as coordinator,
        Finally I would like to thank all office bearers and
members who have contributed to the success of the Branch during
my term of office.

Mini Hamfest report.

        The annual North and North West Mini Hamfest was held
at Port Sorrel on Sunday the 14th of March and was very
attended by some 40 odd members, XYL's and harmonics. A big
thanks must go to the organizers and all concerned with the
staging of this annual event. The big sporting attraction was
the annual cricket match,       won by,            naturally,   the North West.
With their superior batting, bowling and nippy fielding. At
the conclusion of the game, the trophy was to be presented
to the winners, but someone forgot to bring it, so now it will
be presented at the annual dinner on the 3rd of April.
        Various raffles were run during the day and some
handy prizes were won. Lyn, VK7ZIE's XYL, won a pop rivet set,
which we hear was later conned off her by a cunning old
gooseberry grower along the road. A set of door chimes was
won by a hard of hearing Northern member. A screw driver set
also went to the North. But we think the best one was a nice
savoury dish won by a local member, who has since obtained a
frilly little apron and can not be removed from the kitchen.
        The manner in which the children behaved was really
first class, this was later explained when some of them were
seen being loaded into a big van and driven off with little
eyes peering out through, and white knuckles clutching BIG
IRON BARS.

        Another member said he was tosick to come but turned up
and took out the man of the match award. The weather was hot
and humid and the flies were very thick, one member was
overheard telling another, a sure way of keeping them of your
face. If anyone is interested in this method just ring or
write me personally and I will be only to happy to them the
sure qure.
         Joe VK7ZGJ very ably presented the prizes, organized
the raffle and even returned the empty cordial bottles, good
old Joe.
                                                                Lindsay Johnson
  It is good to hear that Ellis VK7WA is back on the air again
after such a long absence of some thirteen years, he can be
heard nearly every night on 2 metres, talking to Charlie VK7CF
or Ken VK7KH, Last week he was heard working a VK3, Ellis is
using a Ken KP202 with a 10 watt amplifier and a skeleton slot.
He is also very active on HF, using a FTI10lE into a G5RV.

                           COOKERY AND METRIC CONVERSION

        There are three different systems of units of measurements
being used in the world today. Europeans ( and a large part of the
rest of the worlds population ) use only the metric system of
weight measures. Australia, the United Kingdom and a large part
of the old British Commonwealth have used the Imperial system
of weights and measures. The United States has the same system
of weights (avoirdupois) as Australia is discarding,but different
measures of fluid volume.
            The U.S.A.       is not yet officially committed to metric
conversion,       but Australia,        the U.K.,       New Zealand,     Canada and
South Africa are in the process of changing to the sole use
of the metric system.
        There has been a trend in cookery in recent years toward
the formulation of recipes in terms of volume ingredients only
(cup measurements). This trend recognises the fact that many
homes are not equiped with kitchen scales and that good simple
utensils for measuring volume are cheaper and therefore more
willingly purchased than are good kitchen scales.     !

SIZES OF AUSTRALIAN STANDARD MEASURES

                               01d Standard                       New Standard

            Teaspoon            1/8 fl1. oz.     (3.6 ml)


It will be noted that there is no Australian standard dessert-
spoon.
        Since there is no simple relationship between units
of the metric and imperial system, DIRECT CONVERSION IS
UNREALISTIC. To demonstrate this consider the list of
ingredients for a cheese souffle in which the conversion has
been made using the approximate conversion factors,
1   oz.   = 28.3 g,    1    fl.oz.    = 28,4 ml,       1 pt.    = 568 ml.,
1 cup = 227.3 ml.

          This conversion is inappropriate since the dquantities
could not be measured       in most kitchens.

       The most important things which must be retained when
converting a recipe are the ratio of ingredients and within a
reasonable limit, the overall size of the original recipe.
       There are several methods of converting existing recipes,
each, if consistently applied, is satisfactory to one extend or
another, Taking all things into account, the method of conver-
ting recipes that is considered most satisfactory is based on
the following relationships:
8 fl. oz.     (1 cup)   is replaced by 250 ml                       (1 metric cup)
8 oz.    is replaced by 250 g
Although the yield is slightly greater                           (about 10%)             the propor-
tions remain the same as in the original recipe.                                    Existing
baking pans can still be used.
       By using this method virtually every recipe can be
converted to metric and similar results should be obtained as
from the original recipe. There is only one way of guaranteeing
success    - BYTESTING THE CONVERTED RECIPE AND making any
necessary adjustments.

Hi girls,
           Hallo again, to John VK7JV, and congratulations,he has
his brain child back. Let us hope the pumpkins don't mind.
Personally I don't think that they will, because they have their
own room, bed and all, John seems to do a good job no matter
what he tries. Of course wife Joy had a pretty big hand in this
too. Next time though they want to try a bigger garden,or
smaller vegies. Our family has had some samples, and they were
beautiful.
       Getting back to ORM. It is nice to know it hasn't lost
a printer. I think the members of the club were a little worried,
and     I have just realised something,                   I haven't thanked Graeme
VK7Z2GG for coping with it last year, as well as his school work
and pupils. Forgive me Graeme, and thank you.
        I hope that John is still going to keep the Tl.adies Page
in QRM, as it is nice to know that we are included, but of course

       Well I have run out of things to say, but T have a small
favour to ask, ladies, if you have a size 14 WHITE top, summer
jumper or blouse that isn't see-through and has a sleeve of
some sort, our Judi is having kittens trying to find one, the
that she has found are far to dear for what they are. Please
ring 272928 if any of you can help her.
                                                                 Sincerely,          Ann,    7NR's XYL.

                   HF notes by Frank Beech VK7BC

        During the callback following a recent Sunday morning
 broadcast, pleasure was expressed by some at hearing Den VK7DK
 on 80 metres, well, he can get even lower in frequency, try the
 1.8 Mhz band during the evenings and you will hear Den and
 Col VK7LZ enjoying themselves working around the Pacific and
 VK where DX can be a real challenge.
         Quite a few VK7 stations took part in the BERU contest
  this year despite the Test Match down the coast, conditions
~ could have been better but some good DX was available. Ed VK7HE
  was on the receiving end of some very good reports with his
  X beam. I lost almost the last two hours when some LID tried
  to break an HEC pole and plunged the West Tamar into darkness,
  fortunately only the vehicle and wiring was damaged. During
  this contest, as always with an eye open for a new country
  I heard AC5PPS, ah that must be up near Tensing's hunting
  ground I thought, hasten or you will lose him in the dogpile,
  called and received 449 with QTH Texas. Vowed to look back
  and make notes of the multitude of Prefixes being churned out.
        VX9 Sable Island is still active, though will be hard
 to get from here, aim at the Grand Banks off VOl.
         A35AF, Kazu is still active from Tonga, QSL via WA4NRE,
 for three successive nights he could be worked on 7 Mhz around
 09.30Z2 but take care when netting as he is only juuuuust in
 the band.
        10 metres was closely watched over the 13/14th March
 and was found to be open most of the daylight hours to JA, with
 some good signals, the JA's had a path into South America for
 a period of three hours.                              ’


        15 metres,    has been open around 22.00Z to the North and
 Noreast,    to JA, VE7, VS6,VR1l and W6,   signals up to 589 and 59
 at times.
        20 metres, this band has been quite good at times with
 DX available almost around the clock on CW.
        40 metres has been the best band lately for solid DX
 work, with good paths into Europe and the Eastern USA,
        80 metres likewise with 59 signals from Europe at times.
       160 metres, as mentioned earlier has begun to open up,
 with Den and probably Col by now working VR1AA on CW, VK's 2,
 3,4, and 5's have been logged as well as ZL's. This is a very
 interesting band to try out, but be patient as the DX usually
 comes and goes quickly, and a long call can sometimes miss it.
 A good time is when one of the stations is working during
 sunrise or sunset. Look to your earthing system as well as the
 wire in the wind.
        VK200/LH has been active this month and has been in
 great demand by locals as well as DX, I ignored a call from
 VK200/LH for about 5 minutes untill I realised he wasn't left
 handed Hi, VK2FT/IH added to the fun.
        No folks, they are not drilling for oil in Trevallyn
 it's only Reg's tower standing up all shiny and bright.
        Col has been working the Aland Islands, which are quite
 rare at this time of year as the Finns are usually found only
 in the sauna baths at this time.                d

               VHF notes by Joe Gelston VK7ZGJ

       Tec my knowledge 6 metres has not been open this month,
although ZL TV was watchable on two occasions. Activity is
almost non existant locally, with Kevin VK7ZAH studying and
Daniel VK7ZDA in the process of shifting again.
       I have called CQ on 52.050 on several occasions but
with no reply, so one can only hope for something better next
month.
       The 6 metre beacon is still awaiting PMG approval for
its erection on 7EX hill, we hope that this will be in the
near future.
      2 metres has been a little more active with a couple
of openings to VK3, Kevin VK7ZAH was the only station on SSB
operational at the time.
        Activity on 2 metres should improve as the year
progresses as there are two more stations,  Frank VK7BC and
Gordon VK7GW,    constructing 2 metre transverters at the present
time.
       Sorry for the lack of news,                  I hope to have more for
you next month.

- IMPEDANCE MATCHING OF TRANSMISSION LINES TO RESISTIVE LOADS.

           I+ is a well known fact that maximum power transfer
 occurs when the source impedance (Zs)        equals the load impedance (Z1)
 The same situation when transmitter output Z = transmission                line Z =
 antenna load Z.




           In the example given maximum transfer of power occurs
 (no tuned lines)      when   Zs= Zo= Z1.
 Propagation of energy along a transmission line however does
 present some problems for us amateurs. We are limited to
 restricted values of Zo (eg. 52 and 72 Ohm) in cables and
 of course the value of Z1 is often nothing like the value of Zo.
 So here is a simple solution to overcoming the problem with
 very little power loss. Note this circuit uses no complex
 impedance matching devices.
           Example below.



           <
      Zs   2                                                            z1
     SZST-g


                 721   antenna radiation resistance = 41     Ohm *
                 Zo impedance                          = 52 Ohm
                 Zs impedance                          = 52 Ohm
                 R     resistance                      =   11 Ohm

         By inserting an 11 Ohm resistor in series with Z1 the
 problem is solved - Zs = Zo = Z1, A small power loss will be
 developed across R but if the system is not used at high power
 levels the loss should not be too great.
         It is simple when you think about it Zs = Zo = Z1 and
 maximum power 1s transferred. This is rule of thumb!
         This method should be very useful for matching VHF
 % wave whip antennae in mobile use, VHF power amps are usually
 transistorised and power transistors do not like high SWR.
         In practice the %4 wave whip, base impedance is usually
 around 20 Ohm, the easiest method is to insert a SWR bridge
 in the line and a potentiometer between the feedline and the
 antenna, a carbon pot of about 50 Ohm is best although a
 wire wound pot may be used but do not foroet to cancel the
 inductance of the pot by adding a small capacitor in parallel,
 about 30pf should do the job. When minimum SWR is achieved,
 measure the resistance and replace with a fixed value of R.
