Welcome.
This page is dedicated to providing information on the events which will celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the founding of our Club.
The Mid South Coast Amateur Radio Club was formed on 6th November 1976 at a meeting of radio amateurs at Tomintool, the home of Frank Hill, VK2HQ. Frank became the founding President. A repeater was installed at Frank’s home, and although it has changed location on several occasions, it has operated continuously since then. Soon after, “nets” began operating on the repeater and on HF frequencies, which are still going. The Lyrebird, the Club magazine, began to be published soon after and is still being published today.
Special Event Station
The Club has sought and been granted the special event callsign VI2HQ40 for the period Monday 31st October to 13th November 2016.
All members will have received an invitation to be put on a roster to operate this station.
Anniversary Meeting and Luncheon
At the next meeting on the 12th November 2016 we will celebrate the 40th Anniversary with a delicious luncheon with current and past members of the Club. Currently we are sifting through the archives to find material to put on display and for inclusion in videos and slide shows to be shown on the day.
