On-Loan DMR Kit Starts Young UK Hams On Their Journeys

When youre first starting out in amateur radio, you cant borrow
confidence in getting on the air but now in the UK you can borrow
something thats almost just as helpful. A new program created especially
to help hams under the age of 18 who are just starting their radio
journeys.

The DMR project launched recently by the Radio Society of Great Britain
is a way to provide opportunity - and radio equipment - for new young
amateurs to become accustomed to making QSOs on a regular basis. The
Outreach Teams new DMR kit contains DMR handheld transceivers and
hotspots to borrow for as long as three months at no cost.

Accompanying the equipment, of course, is the opportunity to use it - and
the RSGBs team will also be hosting regularly scheduled youth nets to
give as many participants as possible a good start. Licensed hams or
school groups with at least one licensee are eligible to apply to use the
kits.

Meanwhile, the society is also encouraging teachers to establish school
clubs and to become amateurs themselves. Funding from the Radio
Communications Foundation will cover the cost of up to nine teachers
exams.

WW SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS --- SOFTWARE FOR HAMS

DXLook.com -- A New Real-Time HF Propagation Map Based Tool:

AK6FP has been experimenting with a new tool that visualizes HF
propagation in real time using live data from multiple networks --
WSPRnet, Reverse Beacon Network, PSK Reporter, and various DX Clusters.

The result is a site designed to give amateur radio operators a visual
feel for current band conditions. You can filter by band (10m-160m),
mode (Digital, CW, SSB), and perspective grid (your QTH), and it builds
a live propagation heatmap around that location.

Its built by AK6FP and is completely free to use no accounts,
no distractions. Just open it and explore.

Check it out here: https://dxlook.com

Reception Reports

WIA News rebroadcasters often give Short Wave Listeners a
welcome to the broadcast as they commence call-backs
straight after the Local News. Local news follows National
news in all states. It would be great if those SWL's would
email their reception reports and location to
[email protected]
Submitting news items

If you would like to submit news items for possible inclusion
in the VK1WIA broadcasts, please email your item in text to [email protected] and don't JUST send url's links or
posters, but take the time to pen YOUR contribution.

To submit audio, email [email protected]
and send BOTH the audio and the text

We would appreciate items certainly no longer than 1.5 mts in
length as we only have a half hour.

Remember the sooner you submit material the more the
likelihood of it being broadcast in the very next edition of
WIA National News.

Each recorded item will only be broadcast once, if you want a couple
of mentions, please submit different slants to keep your
event 'fresh' and always if the news room is to read your
item --- write it in the 3rd person. (First if YOU are
reading your own item). If you are mentioning your own name / call
in the story, say something like "and myself, Pat, vk11abc"

Promote your local rebroadcast; details on wia.org.au/members/broadcast/contribute/

A reminder when supplying HamFest info we obviously can't
plug DEALS from commercial traders "on air", but we at the
WIA will put your supporters 'goods' in this text edition
"no worries."

We will not give blatant 'plugs' to raffles, be it raffles
at the event or "on-line".
