New WIA Intruder Watch Coordinator

Karl Hennig VK6XW has been appointed by the Wireless Institute of Australia Board to replace Glenn Dunstan VK4DU who retired at the recent WIA AGM.

The WIA has accepted responsibility as a central clearing house for reports on intrusions from non amateur activities.

The WIA Intruder Watch Service is an agreed mechanism with the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA).

The Service also links to the international intruder watch for amateur radio, specifically by linkages to the International Amateur Radio Union Region 3 covering our part of the world..

Full details of the WIA Intruder Watch system are available on the WIA Web site.

The success of the Service in protecting the access of Australian radio amateurs to the HF depends heavily on the support of active amateurs willing to go that extra mile and submit formal reports about interference
