WICEN is running an activity day and lunch for members and families here at Dural, today.

WICEN will hold a practice net starting at 1930 tomorrow evening, Monday, 5 December, trying several different systems:
At 1930 on the following linked repeaters: Chatswood 2 m, Kurrajong 70 cm, and Berowra 70 cm.
At 1945 a simplex net on 147.500 MHz, with net control at La Perouse in Sydney.
At 2000 on HF, on 3610 kHz +/- QRM, hopefully allowing both local and rural stations to join.
