WICEN News
With luck, the Sydney WICEN repeater on channels 7150/8275 will
be back on air within a week or so; a number of hiccups occurred
which kept it off the air, so hopefully the Sydney net will soon
be re-vitalised. Speaking of the Sydney WICEN net, it has been
suggested that the time of 9.30pm is rather late; the reasons for
this particular time are long and complex, but lately it had to
do with a certain drama show on ABC-TV. Perhaps members may like
to give some thought to changing the date and/or time of the Syd-
ney net, bearing in mind that it is rumoured that this popular
show will soon re-appear.
There are a couple of new events on the WICEN calendar. The an-
nual Batemans Bay Car Rally is on Saturday 13th August, and as
before Steve VK2XNH is looking for volunteers. Also next month
is the Windsor-Sackville Regatta on Saturday 27th August, from
0730 to 1330. There will be three checkpoints -- one dry and two
wet -- at Windsor, "station 48", and Sackville Ferry. Contact
details are scanty at the moment, but interested personnel may
contact Barry McGrath, the RVCP co-ordinator, on telephone (02)
747-6734 (w) and (02) 666-6596 (h).
The regular exercise next month is the City to Surf Fun Run, on
Sunday 14th August, and Eric VK2KUR is looking for volunteers for
this fun event. There will be the usual barbecue afterwards, at
the usual place, and further details will be heard later on.
Please note that it is hoped to conduct this event on UHF, to
avoid pager garbage; Novices need not worry.
WICEN is always looking for members to provide the community with
communications assistance. Write to WICEN (NSW) Inc, PO Box 123,

around 3610 kHz, Central Coast each Thursday at 8.30pm on channel
7125, and Sydney each Thursday at 9.30pm on channel 7150. If
there are any other regular nets then we'd like to hear about
them.
