AHARS notes for 22nd March 2021
AHARS is planning to have a Back to the Shack Breakfast on March 27th. You may remember we had Breakfast at the shack regularly before the pandemic hit us. If you wish to attend this event next weekend, please send me an email with the number of people attending. Send your email to my personal email address, philstorr@adam.com.au. The breakfast will be eggs and bacon and tea and coffee. I wonder how many of our members took part in the John Moyle this weekend ? This is not a typical contest event where many participants are hell bent on getting the highest score and can be quiet rude to folk who are not used to the cut and thrust of other contests. It is meant to be a fun event. Read about the special event call signs for the RAAF 100 years and give them a call during the time they will be on air. More information on the WIA web site at: https://www.wia.org.au/newsevents/events/ Pat the Treasure is pleased with how many people have already paid there subs for 2021. Most members have paid by direct deposit. So far we have had more than 78% of the members pay their subs, well done folks. If you do not have access to on-line banking you can send us your payment to the AHARS post box, AHARS Inc, P.O. Box 401, Blackwood, S.A. 5051 We have also signed up eight new members and two people have rejoined after an absence of one year. The subs are still $20 for WIA members and $25 for non WIA members if paid before the end of March. After that date there will be a $5.00 late fee. You can pay by direct deposit: Name: AHARS, BSB: 105 186, Account no: 036 248 940 Please do not forget to include your name and or call sign in you details. Pat is sending emails to all those who have paid to make sure AHARS has their correct email address. Brian, VK5VI told us about how the Sunday Broadcast goes to air each week and included an interesting history lesson on how this has evolved over the years, thanks again Brian. Brian will be our guest later in the year with the story of the South East Radio Groups extensive linked repeater network. Brian has been an active member of NERC for many years and looks after the NERC repeaters. Keep an eye on your emails and an ear on the Sunday broadcasts to find out what AHARS is planning for 2021. My email address is for this month is philstorr@adam.com.au. That’s all for this week, 73. Cheers Phil Storr PO Box 501 Modbury South Australia 5092 philipstorr.id.au philstorr@adam.com.au VK5SRP

The latest news from The Adelaide Hills Amateur Radio Society.
This years John Moyle weekend is going to be held over the weekend of the 20th and 21th of March. AHARS was planning on doing the event and we are looking for members who wish to take part. So far I have only had one response to this call and looking at the regulations we cannot use the AHARS shack as I intended. This means unless we have volunteers to run the event at some suitable location, this will not go head. May I suggest members run home stations for this year, here is the format information for the event. You can take part in only a few hours of the 24 hours and you can take part from your QTH instead of an AHARS contest location. For more details got to the WIA web site and look up John Moyle 2021 and you will find there are a number of categories you can choose from: 24 Hour Portable Operation – Multiple Operator, 24 Hour Portable Operation – Single Operator, Six Hour Portable Operation – Multiple Operator, Six Hour Portable Operation – Single Operator, Home Station – 24 Hour, Home Station - 6 Hour. The John Moyle is not a typical contest event where many participants are hell bent on getting the highest score and can be quiet rude to folk who are not used to the cut and thrust of other contests. It is meant to be a fun event. Pat the Treasure tells me the subs are rolling in quite fast this year, mostly by direct deposit. If you do not have this facility you can pay in person at the next General meeting on Thursday the 18th of March at the club rooms. The guest speaker for the March meeting will be Brian VK5VI and he will let you into the secret of how the Sunday broadcast goes to air each week. The subs are still $20 for WIA members and $25 for non WIA members if paid before the end of March. After that date there will be a $5.00 late fee.You can pay by direct deposit: Name: AHARS, BSB: 105 186, Account no: 036 248 940 Please do not forget to include your name and or call sign in you details. Pat is sending emails to all those who have paid to make sure AHARS has their correct email address. We will soon be collecting names for those who would like an AHARS name badge (Pat already has some names) and we will be deciding on the source of AHARS shirts. Pat already has a few name and sizes for these also. I am hoping we can have a “Back to the Shack” breakfast during March or April.
