Apologies for the tardy posting of this months Oxtales on the website, but if you haven’t received it via mailout it’ll have been worth the wait! We held another successful ORARC Field day and the work at the new Telegraph Point repeater site continues at full steam. Thank you as ever to all contributors, proofreaders plus our tireless editor, John VK2AYQ.

Members should now have received their copy by email, but website copies of the current and past editions can always be found here.

Members are hereby notified that the OXLEY REGION AMATEUR RADIO CLUB Inc. Annual General Meeting is to be held at 2pm on Saturday 6 August 2022 in the SES Building, Central Rd, Port Macquarie NSW.

Official notices were emailed out with July’s Oxtales on the 22nd.  The email contained a Notice for the Annual General Meeting, Nomination forms, Meeting Agenda and minutes of the 2021 virtual AGM.

We’ve got a bumper issue of Oxtales for you this month with ground being broken at our new Telegraph Point repeater site! Bob VK2ZRE has written a fantastic article on everyone’s new favorite toy (which they’re probably still getting their head around) – the VNA! Also read all about our field day plans – it’s just under 3 weeks away at the time of writing (so it’s practically tomorrow)! Eternal kudos to all contributors and the man who makes it happen – our Editor, John VK2AYQ.
