On Sunday 5 November 2006 the Ballarat Amateur Radio Group conducted its popular Hamvention, this year at a new venue, The Great Southern Woolshed, on the Western Highway east of Ballarat.
Over 350 people visited the event, featuring very many interesting items of interest to amateurs on offer, raffles and door prizes.
WIA Treasurer Bruce Bathols VK3UV, Director Robert Broomhead VK3KRB and President Michael Owen VK3KI manned a WIA stand, enrolling 16 new members and selling many of the just released 2007 Callbooks, this year with the special CD featuring the ZL call listing as well other NZART information and many useful items of amateur software.
During the Hamvention Michael presented the WIA�s Club Grant Scheme cheque for $900 to David Tilson VK3UR, BARG President.
The Ballarat Amateur Radio Group had submitted a proposal to up-grade its club station, allowing remote access. The Committee said that the project was the most innovative of all submitted to the 2006 Grant Scheme, and that the proposal was very well presented and showed high levels of skill in project design and management.
