/////////////////////////////////////////// When Power's Out and Phones are Down, Who You Gonna Call? Posted: 02 Dec 2016 04:04 PM PST http://www.eham.net/articles/38159 When the power's out and the phones are down, who you gonna call? Bundy's WICEN. The Wireless Institute Civil Emergency Network have been busy preparing to combat any wild weather that rolls in this storm season. WICEN is a division of the Bundaberg Amateur Radio Club and has collaborated with the SES to ensure communications remain operational in the event of major storms, floods or other natural disasters. "While we aren't the first responders or the people suspended from helicopters, WICEN members are the behind-the-scenes people who work to keep communications going," Gail Lidden, deputy controller for WICEN Bundaberg, said. "Emergency evacuation centres need communications and it's vital that an agency caring for evacuees is in touch with the outside world." David Nebe, a WICEN volunteer, said at this time of year more practice was undertaken with the SES and Bundaberg Regional Council to sow they could aid in an emergency situation. /////////////////////////////////////////// VK6WIA -- NewsWest, 4 December 2016: Posted: 02 Dec 2016 04:06 PM PST http://www.eham.net/articles/38158 In the news this week we take a close look at the dysfunction that is paralysing the Wireless Institute of Australia.

Fortunately the bearing lives. This week I look at ball-bearings, no, antennas and how an Amateur License helps you understand the drivel that manufacturers use to describe their product and expose some of the fun and games associated with helping a fellow spectrum user. |
