Broadcast - 20 Oct 2024
A big thank you to Jordan VK3ACU for hosting the Wednesday evening TestNet and TechNet session. Jordan and Kiran VK3BTV even tackled the CW side of the nights net and from what I hear they all had a fun evening, something to do with inverse morse code…… With the aid of modern technology in the form of Discord, Nic VK7WW was able to keep an eye on things by listening to the off air streaming audio channel provided by Phil VK7ZPD who was holding the Discord side of things together as usual. Rumour has it Nic was “kicking back” and listening to the net from his opulent accommodation within a Douglas DC3 aircraft! Enjoy the break while you can Nic, but it looks like you left things in good hands.
By the time you hear this on Sunday morning we will be half way through this year’s JOTA/JOTI two day event! If you would like to assist and volunteer some of your time you still have until 3pm. Just drop down to the Venue at the NTARC Club rooms, at the Rocherlea Scout Hall, Archer St. Or if you prefer, listen out and respond to any CQ JOTA calls as I am sure we will need some local contacts to chat with the participants on air in case we can’t link up to other Scout venues.
