Dear Radio clubs,

It would be appreciated if you could please forward the below media release to your members.  This will be an exciting national event for radio amateurs to be involved with!  Calling CQ FunFlight!
An opportunity exists to promote your radio club and amateur radio through the national FunFlight day, to be held on Sunday November 8th.

FunFlight is volunteer-run, and established to provide children touched by adversity, with joy and inspiration through the exhilaration of flight.  Flying clubs and pilots nation wide donate their facilities and flight time, to help provide a memorable day for thousands of children.  The website is at www.funflight.org.

Bendigo Amateur Radio and Electronics Club will be once again setting up an amateur radio station at the Bendigo Flying club, to provide an extra activity for the children while they wait for their flights.  The FunFlight organisers are supportive of the concept, so perhaps your club may be interested in contacting your local Flying club, to see if they are interested in an amateur radio station on FunFlight day.

Radio clubs participating on the day will be liaising on forty metres, providing a link for the children to talk with each other and share their experiences.  This will be an exciting event, and we look forward to connecting with other flying clubs via amateur radio, as we call ‘CQ FunFlight’ on Sunday November 8th!

Kind regards,
Graeme Knight
