MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
We are now in holiday mode and are wishing all of our members a wonderful and merry xmas!
Please rememeber, there is NO JANUARY MEETING. We need the rest :p
Our venue is at the “Inside Industry” facility just inside the main entrance of Blue Scope on Springhill Road.
This is the BlueScope entrance & the brand new Visitor Centre’s building entrance.
Drive in the BlueScope entrance & turn right (before the security gates) & follow the Visitor Centre signs.
Plenty of off-street parking!

Tuesday night Net

NOTICE:  The “Thank God It’s Friday Net” has been moved to Tuesday nights. Apparently it interfered with the only PARTY evening of the week, well we can’t argue with that. Therefore from next week the TGIF net will be on Tuesdays at 8.30pm on 3.630Mhz. Please join us for an hour of some HF testing and chatting. By unanimous show of hands the name will remain as is. So catch you on the TGIF on TGIT

Echo Link Net – Every Saturday Morning!

IARS will host an Echo Link Net every Saturday kicking off at 09:30hrs on VK2RMP on 146.850MHz. Why not jump on and join the conversion!
