Greetings all WARG members,

By now you have no doubt heard that southern WA is in lockdown for five days, starting from 6pm tonight.

This obviously means that the planned WARG meeting tomorrow at Pelican Point Sea Scouts cannot go ahead. Instead we will try an on-air meeting from 7:30pm on VK6RLM, 146.750, and connected AllStar links.

I will provide more information in a few hours – am working to get a few necessary things done before it all shuts down at 6pm.

73, and Best Regards,
Anthony VK6AXB
Secretary, WARG

Hi all,

I was looking at the Wayback machine ( http://web.archive.org ) and decided to look up warg.org.au

It turns out (as far as I can tell, please correct me if wrong) that the WARG Website has been up since 9^th October 2004. Happy 16^th Birthday WHISKEY ALPHA ROMEO GOLF dot OSCAR ROMEO GOLF dot ALPHA UNIFORM!

This is what the website used to look like back then, when the internet was still a bit new for most of us.

The next WARG monthly meeting is to be held on air Monday 7 December 2020 on repeater VK6RLM (146.750), not at our regular venue. The meeting will commence at the regular time of 19:30 hours. Hope to hear a few people on the net.
