Early planning for the Centre Victoria RadioFest

Now, almost recovered from running the first RadioFest at Kyneton, Australia in April, members of the organising committee are beginning to give thoughts about the next and second RadioFest in 2008.

A very worthwhile debriefing was held recently that looked at all aspects of the inaugural RadioFest to see what worked well and if there was any areas for improvement.

The amateur radio community welcomed the Centre Victoria RadioFest. It was made possible through the collaboration of Amateur Radio Victoria, Central Goldfields and Midland Amateur Radio Clubs.

Now the organising committee invites suggestions or offers from individual radio amateurs, clubs and groups, and traders, as consideration continues about mounting the RadioFest again next year.

Anyone wishing to provide input can do so via email to

Last April's event saw eager activity at the ALARA table, under the guidance of Pam VK3NK.

Just across from ALARA, on the Amateur Radio Victoria display, ALARA member Michele VK3FEAT was busy...

Always, "ready to please", the ALARA members present apparently 'drew the line' when one visiting OM said "This would be the ideal site to find a new wife!"
