NewsWest 3rd January 2021 -  Club Focus Edition

03 Jan 2021

NewsWest for Sunday 3rd January, 2021 is the Club Focus edition, where we give clubs the space to promote themselves and what they are getting up to.  

I’m Bob VK6POP, on behalf of the NewsWest team, I’m wishing you a very Happy New Year. 

In an editorial comment, I cap off the discussion about appropriate behaviour among Amateurs, and in the regular Club Focus series, this time read by Jeff, we talk about the need for clubs to look after their members.

This and more on NewsWest, your Amateur Radio News for the VK6 call area and beyond.
