The NewsWest broadcast happens every Sunday morning at 0930 WST following the 0900 National News.  The news is transmitted through the linked repeater network, originating on VK6RAP 146.700,  and various HF frequencies. We encourage you strongly to listen in on air, and give your callsign at the end of the transmission as a 'callback'. This gives the Newswest team an idea on audience numbers, which are also reported back to the WIA. The National News and Newswest are repeated from 1900 WST on Sunday evenings.

 

For those unable to listen to the aired broadcast, an mp3 version of the news is available for download below. Click 'View' on the corresponding file to download the file.

 

The NewsWest team currently consists of: Bob VK6POP, Onno VK6FLAB, Miles VK6MAB, Roy VK6XV and Davis VK6FAME.
