First aid organisation needs radio amateurs

St John Ambulance Victoria is looking for volunteer radio communications operators to boost its participation in the Melbourne 2006 Commonwealth Games.

The volunteers will be involved in staffing the new State Communications Centre at Waverley in Melbourne's east and operating radio networks for St John First Aiders.

Experience is welcome but not necessary, as training will be provided.

If you're interested and would like to know more, call St John Ambulance State Communications Centre on 8588 8367 or send an email to Amateur Radio Victoria
