WIA President and Director Visit Westlakes

Westlakes Amateur Radio Club at Teralba, near Newcastle was the host to WIA President Michael Owen VK3KI and Director Phil Wait VK2DKN on Saturday 30 June 2007.

The Club had invited the President to visit the Club some time ago, and the WIA was very anxious to increase its ties with the club, as Westlakes provides the WIA's Outward QSL service, as well as the New South Wales Inwards Bureau, all thanks to QSL Bureau Manager Alec Efimov VK2ZM and his team. The visit gave the President an opportunity to learn more about the Bureau and to seek Alec's suggestions.

At the formal meeting on Saturday afternoon Michael talked about the many current activities of the WIA, particularly as manager of the amateur examination system and as the representative of Australian amateurs at upcoming ITU conference, and Phil described the current developments in the fight against BPL interference.

Westlakes President, Russell Ashdowne VK2KEG thanked Phil and Michael, saying that he hoped that the links between the WIA and Westlakes would be further strengthened.
