Summary
of the NERG Meeting 14th November
2002
This meeting
was held in the Greenhills
Community House and was well attended with about 30 members present.
The guest
speaker for the evening was Greg VK3VT who spoke about amateur radio
contesting.
Greg ran a
session on the fine art of radio contesting.
This included a mock contest within the meeting room with Greg being
the rare
DX station and the audience shouting out callsigns and QSLs. After a
slow start
Greg was soon in the middle of a dogpile – all good experience for
upcoming
club contests! Greg
could not get any
other members up to be the rare station! And his attempts indicated
that he has
been away from contesting a while and needs a little practice.
Jim Linton,
president of the WIA Victorian division
was a surprise guest. Jim has been out and about recently visiting
several Victorian
clubs and is no doubt getting lots of feedback from WIA members and
nonmembers alike.
