Amateur Radio Magazine, K3PRG and VI2021PRIDE

Amateur Radio Magazine published by the WIA gave us a shout out in the latest issue. We are very happy to see the group noticed by more and more people and it helps show the world how diverse amateur radio really is! WIA has instructions on how to get a copy of the issue on their website.

The FCC has issued a vanity callsign for our club, K3PRG. This goes nicely with our existing Australian callsign VK3PRG! Can’t wait to see the two club stations work each other in the future. Thanks to all involved in getting K3PRG callsign registered.

AMC has issued a callsign recommendation for VI2021PRIDE to ACMA. Once issued by ACMA we’ll publish a schedule (subject to COVID-19 restrictions / rescheduling) for the station activations. VI2021PRIDE will be used to celebrate pride events and we look forward to engaging with community events.

We’ve also submitted recommended changes for some IARU documentation to make the language more inclusive.

That’s all for now - stay safe
