V. H. F NOTES by N. Fisher VK7ZEB
David 72AI and Danny 7ZDM are s-fciU a-fc Kelso bu-b nothing has boon heard
of thera although skeds have been kept every weekend at 1730 hours (Nearly had
kittens when I was list-ening carefully and heard ray callsign come ou'fc of the
noise ~ it vas only 7ZAO being received on the back of ray bearai), Sunday l6t,h
pro-vided some acti-vity on 2 iaetr©s zath 7ZEE and 7ZAO/Q looking north for
runioured TDK type signals. Nothing vas heard, ta.i-fc we would be pleased -bp keep
skeds for any experiments you want -bo cany out Den. Just let us know the -time,
Dave Berry has become the third Hobart 2 ae-fcre station to be heard at Oa-blQnds.
He put up'a ? ? (cein'-b read your writing Nov. ) 3 el. bean for the effort and a
tw way con-bac'b •will be possible when a long awaited 13 el, beam is comnassioned
at iry QTH. It xs quite within the realms of possibility -to get the 40 miles as
I can hear 7ZAO/Q at 5/7 when they are numing 8 wa-b-bs in. Take note you fellow
low power stations,
Nothing much is doing on 6 metres. Two converters are in the "thinking
about" stage and Uilf is in -bhe market for some high -wattaga cathode resistox-s.
It's not -boo early (or late) to start thinking about aobile/portable equipment
for the Athol Johnson Memorial Gon-best and seeing I have decided who is going
to win it this year you had bs-fcter make a move»
S'ba'bions lending gegr for the Jamboree lirilc are requested -to check all
is shLp-shape in readiness,
The next meeting of this Group is on WiDMEGDAI^ 17-th Oc-bober.
CONVENTION GET TOGETI-IER.
It has been suggested that we have a hamfest at Gampbell Tovai diiring
November and W7EJ has been appoin-bed to go into the matter and report. This
location TOS selected as being fairly central tor -bhehain population,
Nothing definite ye-b bu-fc he wcTjld appreciate aiy ideas or suggestions and an
indication of how raary might a'btend,
INSTITUTE BOX NUMBER.
We stUl have occasional correspondence sant to Box 371B, G. P. 0.,
Hobart, which often causes a delay in roceipt ly the Secretary, Again please
note -bhat. this box number shoT-Od be used for the Q^L Bureau ONU. Our
Divisional box nimber is on the top of the front page of every Bulletin.
BULLETIN.
News seems -bo be a little light on this month? even -the Technical
Editor was too busy moving his QTH to provide a. technical article j Recen-b
appeals for articles, corainen-bs, newsy cilticisra etc, has fallen on deaf ears
and not a thing has been received, 'With a membership of over 150 surely
someone can occasionally give us a hand. It's quite a job finding enough
items to fill even •fc-uo pages. One con-fcribution from each neiaBer would provide
gia-berial for years I SO kTMT ^IBOUT DOING SOMiiTHING NOW.
