Hello NERCs,
General Meeting and Tech Night 7:15 for 7:30
The get together is a bit open because an anticipated guest speaker is for October now.
A morse demonstration from Trevor VK5ATQ, it will be short so any other input is welcome of a tech nature.
NERC members Mick VK5MCH and myself Tom VK5TOM were guests of Ian VK5CZ at Clare to do some SOTA activations. Mick went with Hugh VK5NHG and I went with Ian it was a fun day of 4wding and hiking for many contacts made. We will be doing park activations tomorrow (Friday 11th) listen out for us on 7144.
Just a reminder of the Remembrance Day RD Contest this weekend Christopher VK5CL, Nigel VK5NIG and Stu VK5STU are at an air raid shelter using the club call sign VK5WOW on Saturday please keep an ear out and give a shout to them and others.
This weekend several NERC including Tony VK5FBIC, Allan VK5BEN, Ben VK3NEB and myself Tom VK5TOM will be at stationed at various checkpoints for the Walky 100 Car Rally starting at Eudunda. (An ACRM Gawler Barossa Coms group coordinating)
Our committee group have been invited together with other city and regional clubs to John Kent’s place (President of AHARS) Monday next for morning tea. The aim is to assist inter ham relations throughout clubs (and outside) and ways of holding a knowledge and information bank all can draw from. (Early days but my discussions with the Adelaide Presidents ((including WICEN) has been super positive).
Congratulations to Graham Kimber who has passed his full call exam. Well done He is waiting on his call sign confirmation. Please give him a stir when you see him at the club or coffee.
We are still looking for potential guest speakers and topics for tech nights if you have any ideas please contact the president Tony Green VK5FBIC, his contact can be found on the contacts page

Ever been interested in learning morse, this talk might be the answer. Chris (VK5SA) is going to give us a talk on cheating with morse.
As a side note, please consider being on the committee for next year… Elections and AGM 14th July. The President, Vice President and Secretary Job will also be Vacant (I have done more than the 2 year allotted).
A show and tell with old slides and video clips.
Please bring your own Pictures and or video clips allow 5 Mins Max Chat. Any topic (A few have some overseas shots) but a few with Amateur Radio stuff would balance the night.

Unfortunatally we could not keep the location that was housing our repeaters so they have been taken down. It was a great location and served the Adelaide HAM community well.
Good news!! The club has negotiated a different location on the same land. We need to set it up and be self sufficient, ie solar, battery, mast, shed etc.
Watch this space for more news.
