Good Morning Bill:
I now have an antenna that
conforms to the Shire Council's height regulations - a
modified inverted v that works on 15,20, and 40 M.
Alas the band is not (working). I heard one station
calling VK4ZD but I was not able to get a response from
the calling or the called stations. Will keep trying.
On another ROAR matter, I
have begun work on the 2009-2010 edition of The
Directory. I need to know of additions and SK's
also any changes to the ROAR net schedules.
So if any of these items are known be sure to advise
me. My timetable will be for information to be in
before the end of this month, February, to the printers
by early March
with bulk mailings out in early April. We leave for W/VE
the beginning of May. If the recipients of these bulk
mailings is to be different from last year I need to
know.

From Les PA0SDZ
Dear Bill,
I supposed that Henk,
VK2GWK, lived south of the floods and north of the
fires. After mailing him he told me that they had
not serious problems until now but that they
remained "prepared".
Maybe this message is of some interest for your
newsletter. I hope to be present in the net soon
again, I was away in France.
Best regards from Les(lie) PA0SDZ.
(Many thanks Les and Good Luck Henk)
