Vaal Radio Hams commemorate Heritage Day

The two Vaal Triangle area Amateur Radio Clubs, Sasolburg, ZS4SRK, and Vaal Triangle, ZS6VTB, seek support for their Heritage Day functions.

Sasolburg ARC, ZS4SRK, will be holding a Field Day at the Witkop Blockhouse on the R59. Qualified SSB and competent Heliograph operators are invited to demonstrate codes and military manoeuvres at the countrywide get together.

Attendance at this well-known landmark south of Johannesburg is to become an annual family amateur event. Attendees are most welcome to wear 'Anglo-Boer War' dress and clear up after their horses. HF antennas will be visible from the roadway.

The Vaal Triangle ARC, ZS6VTB, is celebrating the opening of their Radio and Boardrooms, and ZS08TV - 'Treaty of Vereeniging' at the Old Processed Meat Factory in Wedgewood Street, Vanderbijlpark.

CW and SSB Special Event transmissions will feature largely during the day. Visitors with decorating skills in suitable protective clothing carrying refreshments, glasses and chairs are most welcome. Various antennas on the roof are clearly visible from the surrounding streets.
