THE AMIGA AMATEUR RADIO USER GROUP
1. The U.K. Group was started by G3LMH in May 1988 following the setting
up of the original Group in the U.S.A. by Kathy Wehr, WB3KRN. Similar
Groups are being set up in Germany, Italy, Australia and elswhere.
2. One of the most important objects of these Groups is to ensure that
information related to amateur radio applications for the Amiga is
rapidly disseminated. This is achieved by the exchange of newsletters
and PD disks and in QSOs on the air, including Amiga Nets.
3. We aim to promote the use of the Amiga for amateur radio applications
and to assist one another to deal with problems. There is a wide
spectrum of expertise within the Group ranging from beginners to
professional programmers.
4. The U.K. and U.S. Newsletters are published about four times per year
but there are no specific publication dates; we prefer to wait until
there is sufficient worthwhile material rather than to stick to a rigid
timetable. Contributions (to G3LMH please) for the U.K. Newsletter are
always welcome and need not be confined to amateur radio related
matters; few members use their Amigas exclusively for amateur radio!
5. Charlie Morgan, G0EIW deals with duplication and distribution of
newsletters. Members should ensure that they have a minimum of one SAE
(preferably 9" x 6") with Charlie at all times. Alternatively, Charlie
will send four newsletter packages for one pound. If you prefer this
arrangement, please let him know.
6. Three PD disks were produced by Kathy's Group in the U.S. during 1988
and three more were issued in January 1989. The U.K. Group has also
collected together a number of terminal programs, satellite tracking
programs, a demo of a logging program and a disk of useful utilities.
We also have some Italian PD software. It is hoped that in future, more
PD programs will be originated in Europe. Andy Hewat, G8NTH deals with
PD disk duplication and distribution for the U.K.; send him blank disks
and return postage if you would like copies.
7. All members of the U.K. Group are listed on the database which is
regularly updated by G3LMH. Membership now exceeds 100 and is growing
with the continuing popularity of the Amiga. Your co-operation is
requested in notifying your details or amendments promptly so as to
ensure that the database listing is as comprehensive and useful as
possible to all members, both old and new. The database details include
name, address, callsign, telephone number, packet mailbox, type of Amiga
and TNC and principal interests. Copies of the latest issue of the
database can be obtained at any time by sending an SAE to G3LMH.
8. There is no subscription for membership of the U.K. Group. All we
ask is that members always ensure that they send sufficient return
postage when corresponding with other members (when a reply is
expected).
9. Members are asked to publicise the existence of our Group whenever
and wherever they can. It is surprising how many `Help!' messages
still appear on PBBSs from new Amiga owners who seem to think that they
may be the first or only ones in the world wanting to use their machine
for amateur radio.....
