15 Nov 2020NewsWest for Sunday 15th November, 2020 is the contesting edition, and we have news and reminders of contests coming up this year, as contesting in 2020 isnt over yet.

Who was Aacharya Jagadish Chandra Bose?  We’ll tell you about a special event activation in India, coming up soon, marking this man’s birthday.

Clive announces a Christmas Party for the Radio Old Timers, and Glynn drops by to spruik about the NCRG raffle. And there’s Roy. It’s no show without punch, and Roy’s Amateur Radio Helpline has been with us since Adam wore short pants, or perhaps even before the pants.

The team this week is Mike VK6KMS, Jeff VK6FJLM, Roy VK6XV, guest contributors are Andrew VK6AS, Clive VK6CSW and Glynn VK6PAW.  I’m Bob VK6POP the NewsWest producer, and my job’s open to the highest bidder.
