Newswest for Sunday 2nd June 2019
 There has been a great
response from clubs for our club focus, this is really encouraging. We have reports from the HARG, NCRG, PARG, WA
VHF Group, Ham College and WAARN.
We also have a wrap from the WIA AGM and convention. WIA Director Harry VK6YBZ gives us his view and as the Radio Amateur Society of Australia was invited to answer questions there is a short piece from them too. The AGM and forum were recorded and so there is an interesting little snippet of opinion from a VK5 member
Pressure of time means that some of our usual magazine style elements are missing, it is a very full programme, please enjoy!

the news programme. You can send contributions by email to newswest@vk6.net
