South Australian Division

By ERIC HALLIDAY.

Conditions in VK5 up to 20/2/35 have
been excellent for DX, both on 7 me.
and 14 mc. Many of the locals have
been working G's and other Europeans
galore.

5RX is using a two-stage tritet, with
a single wire feed matched impedance
aerial. On a recent night he worked
five G’s without having to use CQ once,
being called by all five. 5GL is the
call of Clem Tilbrook, of Brighton Rd.,
Brighton.

5MY recently received his W.A.C. cer-

tificate. Harry has been interested in
the 28 mc. band of late. Had a bit of
trouble in finding the band on his re-
ceiver. Still uses a tritet on 7 mc. and
14 mc. 5KL now has a four-stage
crystal rig built, and has no difficulty
in working DX. 5MW recently got his
limited certificate. The 200 m. trans-
missions from this station are getting

out well; plenty of interstate reports
are being received.

West Australian Division

The W.LA., W.A. Division, has had
a busy time of late dealing with Con-
vention matters. Owing to late arrival
of agenda items from headquarters,
the Council were hard pushed to ar-

Section.

Tasmanian Division

By 7PA.

(Hon. Sec., H. M. Moorhouse, 95 Ar-
thur Street, North Hobart.)

The February meeting was held on
Tuesday night, the 12th inst., having
been postponed from the previous Tues-
day owing to it being a local holiday—
Hobart's big Henley or Regatta Day, as
you please.

General business was attended to and
a discussion held re finance, and, owing
to our financial position, it was deemed
necessary to take some action to col-
lect outstanding subs., which, unfor-
tunately for such a small division, are
rather large; should these be paid in
this division would be in a very bright
position. See to it, chaps!

This matter was put into the hands
of the Executive Council to act on.

At the end of the meeting, VK7WR—
Bill Nicholas—gave a lecture on ae a
“B” and “C" class amplifiers, which was
much appreciated by all, and Bill was
greeted by a hearty round of acclama-
tion at its conelusion. It is our aim

to promote more of these lectures from
time to time.

Members are reminded that the first

Tuesday in each month is still the

regular meeting night unless otherwise
advised.
