Hi members, It has been brought to my attention that some members and perhaps visitors are driving too fast through the school grounds. This was reported to me from another club which is also on the school grounds. Without going into details, can all members that visit the club (which is located on the school grounds), please obey speed signs and keep your speed to an absolute minimum. I am sure you are aware that speeding near or within school grounds is extremely dangerous. Slow Down Please!! Thank you ! Craig Famparc President vk3ncr

During our July monthly meeting the club decided to investigate whether to build a remote radio station (RRS). To clarify how we think an RRS might be used, the club will run an RRS user-needs workshop on Saturday 27 July from 1000-1115 in the club rooms. Ian (VK3KO) will facilitate the workshop and it will be your opportunity to have a say on what you think a useful FAMPARC remote facility should provide. We will also identify any operating or technical constraints which any design should consider. Could you please make note of you interest or thoughts below in the comments area.

During our most recent monthly meeting in July, Lino VK3EI made an appearance to showcase his incredible Amateur Radio Trailer. (which is currently available for purchase.) The trailer is very well equipped and can be deployed very quickly. We are very grateful to Lino for making the effort to come and showcase his radio equipment.

The upcoming July monthly meeting (Sat. 6th July) will not only feature the usual fun and excitement but also a special visit from Lino VK3EI, who will demonstrate his impressive Amateur Radio Trailer. Saturday 6th July Lino will be showing off his creation straight after the close of the meeting, which is usually around 11:30am. So come along to the Famparc Club Rooms and meet Lino VK3EI. Thanks to its dual axle design, the trailer is easy to tow and remains stable even on rough roads. It has successfully navigated challenging terrain without showing any signs of struggling. See you at the club rooms! 6th july 2024.

The ACMA is introducing more options for the amateur community to licence repeater and beacon services. We are also increasing the transparency of the frequency coordination process. For further information and to have your say Click Here.

With many thanks to VK3FS The ionosphere is the ionized part of Earth’s upper atmosphere that extends from about 80 to 600 km above sea level. It’s a region within the thermosphere filled with charged particles that play a crucial role in radio communication by reflecting radio waves back to Earth. It also contributes to auroras and is ionized by solar radiation. This video briefly overviews the 3 regions of the Ionosphere, how they work and how they were discovered.

Men's Health Week 2024 International Men's Health Week is celebrated every year around the world in the middle of June. It is an opportunity to highlight the importance of men's health, and to promote and support the health and wellbeing of men and boys in our communities. Men's Health Week focuses on not just physical health, but also men's mental health and emotional wellbeing. During the week, we highlight the health challenges faced by men in Australia and worldwide and run events that can be replicated year-round to improve the physical, emotional and mental health of men and boys. Through a series of promotions, events and publicity around the country, Men's Health Week is designed to provoke thought and discussion about what needs to be done to improve male health. Coordinated in Australia by the Centre for Male Health at Western Sydney University Men’s Health Week is coordinated by the Centre for Male Health at Western Sydney University. Our close connections with community and government organisations across Australia enable us to develop the kinds of networks and partnerships that bring together people who care about better health for men and boys. Engaging Communities Men's Health Week works on the understanding that the best people to improve men's health in Australia are those who live, work and engage with men and boys in communities around the country. Event organisers will receive digital resources to support their efforts in engaging local men and boys and help them run successful events during Men's Health Week. Contact the Centre for Male Health for more information. More Information Here.. And Here! Stay healthy chaps!
