This week-end, Brisbane Area WICEN has its first #EmergencyCommsExercise taking place at Stirling's Crossing, #Imbil this week-end. Some from the Gold Coast Amateur Radio Society are helping us too.

Not sure if we're doing packet radio stuff, we didn't the last two times, but we'll bring the gear needed anyway. Better to have it and not need it, then need it and not have it.

I suspect we'll be operating mostly on VHF (147.150MHz +600kHz FM and 147.500MHz simplex FM).

I'll be posting some photos of the events, AltText will be put in when I get the time to do so.

Well, an eventful day for all the wrong reasons. What was meant to be a quiet walk to Jolala look-out to commemorate the late wife of one of our party, wound up being an impromptu #EmergencyComms event conducted via #APRS on 145.175MHz and FM voice via VK4RGC 146.700MHz. Fellow bushwalkers helped us with getting our patient back out, and Geoffrey VK2DLA relaying between yours truly and Queensland Ambulance Service.

He's on his way now to Gold Coast Uni hospital for observation.

Hello! I'm Zac, a queer FilAm illustrator!
I needed new glasses recently, which used up money set aside for bills... As I passed the halfway mark to my goal, my tooth started hurting, causing more frequent migranes and headaches :artsits:

So! I'm promoting my comms!! :bunhdlurk: I primarily do pet & character illustrations, but I don't mind a new challenge!
