Q5 Broadcasts in Southern Tasmania

Ken VK7DY has arranged with Ron Bertrand, VK2DQ from the Radio and Electronics School to source Q5, the general radio and electronics information program.

This program has been running in the North West of vk7 thanks to Tony for the last couple of months with success.
7:30pm Wednesday on R2, 146.700

Radio and Electronics School Course Manager, Adam VK4KSS said; "With the help of many clubs and societies around the country the Radio and Electronics School last Sunday passed 500 enrolments. This is in itself is a great achievement, but what really stands out is that over 380 of these were novice enrolments. The year is still young, and we expect passing last year's total enrolments of 565 in September, with a surge before Christmas.

None of this could have been achieved without the assistance of clubs and societies around the country who took the time to display posters in prominent places.
For example, I recently had a student enrol from Townsville who saw our poster on the local supermarket notice board.
The poster not only interested a potential student, but also advertised the local club.

All posters are customised to reflect local club contact details not just advertise the Radio and Electronics School.

Team these posters up with VK5MM's excellent informational brochures and we have a very effective tool for advertising our hobby. Imagine if all of us put up just one display on a local supermarket, library or McDonalds notice board and enticed just one new radio amateur. We could potentially have a few thousand new amateurs in a short time."
