WICEN will have a stand at the Central Coast Amateur Radio Club's Wyong Field Day on 22 February 2015.

One topic of conversation at your publicity officer's Christmas lunch was Use-By dates on unusual items, such as salt, and of course bottled water was mentioned. Such dates are provided because bottled water can become microbiologically unsafe after a period of storage. As such, as part of remaining prepared for activation, operators should check the dates on any such supplies.

WICEN wishes members and listeners a very Happy New Year, and extends its thanks to the Broadcast Team for the year's efforts.

WICEN has a twitter account: @wicennsw

Facebook users will find the official WICEN New South Wales page, an informal national WICEN group, and at least one interstate group.

WICEN ACT is part of the Canberra Region Amateur Radio Club, and supports events in the ACT and surrounding areas. The club's website at http://www.crarc.ampr.org includes details of both WICEN and general events, including training.

Coming events include:
