25.01.2022 Brisbane Area WICEN Group are proud to assist Bicycle Queensland today with their The Big Beach Ride on the beautiful #sunshinecoast today. The group utilised their repeater located in the Sunshine Coast hinterland, VK4RZC, with a number of operators using cross band mode. Another great event and many thanks to all WICEN Operators for their assistance today. #bq #bicyclequeensland #thebigbeachride

25.01.2022 Our friends from NSW ...

23.01.2022 Looking for operators to assist for this first Stirlings Crossing event back post CV19. Come and see digital radio in action as we utilise packet radio linked to long range RFID readers to register riders through checkpoints using software and hardware technology developed in house at BAWG. Please message if you want more information.

21.01.2022 Looks like there should be some good grub available this weekend for the BAWG members attending Stirlings crossing.

21.01.2022 All Members please be aware of Update from WIA. With the ongoing and upcoming weather conditions later this week, this situation could continue. BUSHFIRE EMERGENCY 31 December 2019 through 1 January 2020... Date : 31 / 12 / 2019 Author : Greg Kelly VK2GPK - WIA President The WIA has received advice that there are major outages of telecommunications in areas impacted by the bushfires either currently or expected to occur overnight. The scope and range of these impacts is unknown at this stage. The WIA kindly asks Radio Amateurs to monitor the EMCOM HF frequencies ( as per IARU-R3 EMCOM bandplan on the WIA or IARU-R3 website) whenever feasible over the next 24 to 48 hours. VHF and UHF Repeaters should also be monitored wherever possible. Amateurs seeking to establish emergency communication should use these EMCOMM frequencies in the first instance, or repeaters if available. Radio Amateurs who are volunteers for WICEN, CREST, etc should keep themselves updated from the respective websites of these organisations. Emergency Communication is one of the three main reasons Radio Amateurs have access to RF Spectrum. Please assist if and when you can. IARU Region III has adopted the following frequencies as recommended emergency centre of activity frequencies: 3.600 7.110 14.300 18.160 21.360 MHz. "Centre of Activity" frequencies are not spot frequencies or net frequencies. They are recommended as starting points for emergency traffic which may extend 5 kHz above or below the designated centre frequency.

11.01.2022 Who would be interested in getting away camping for the Easter long weekend, and helping out WICEN at the same time? WICEN are supporting a weekend horse-riding event at Cooyar and need some extra assistance supporting the horse riders along the route. You can find this event on our Events page. ...
