This Week in Amateur Radio

North America's Premiere Amateur Radio News Magazine

Via Southgate: VK6WIA NewsWest

NewsWest for Sunday 26th June 2022 is the New Amateurs episode, where we welcome and acknowledge new amateurs who have just received a new or upgraded licence.

In the New Hams segment we talk about the challenges faced by newcomers in sorting out the huge information rush that’s available.

We revisit Greenwich Mean Time and Universal Coordinated Time, and discuss antenna selection for newbies. There’s the Helpline from Roy, news of events happening, and more, on NewsWest.

There’s a full programme this week on NewsWest, which can be heard on line, on air and on demand. Find out more about us at our website, vk6.net

NewsWest invites programme contributions. You can send yours as email attachments to newswest@vk6.net – our editorial policy is that items should be about Amateur Radio, and relating to, or of interest to, Radio amateurs in Western Australia.

Originating in Perth Western Australia, NewsWest is produced by WA Amateur Radio News for listeners on-air, on-line and on-demand.

Whichever way you’re listening, whether you’re a licensed radio amateur or not, experienced or just a beginner, old or young, thanks for being here and thanks for joining us.
