<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>This is to give notice of a forthcoming training event.</p>
<p>In line with the WICEN strategy of involving Amateur Radio Clubs
in our activities, I am organising <br>
a joint collaboration between WICEN and The Southern Peninsula
Amateur Radio Club (SPARC).</p>
<p><u><b>The strategy is to:</b></u><br>
Further relations between AR Clubs and WICEN.<br>
To identify club members that have an interest in using the hobby
for greater purpose.<br>
To prepare operators who indicate they would be available to
participate in WICEN activities/events/activation's.<br>
To recruit new members into WICEN.</p>
<p><b>Date: Saturday 5 August 2023.</b><br>

<p><b>Navigation and Show & Tell:</b><br>
The event will start with a short Navigation exercise, ending at
the Event HQ at 11:00 hours.<br>
You will use Lat/Lon Coordinates to navigate through various
checkpoints, collecting information along the way.<br>
You will arrive at Event HQ and setup a field station - your
choice HF &/or VHF &/or Data, then make contact <br>
with other field stations and Event HQ.<br>

We are looking for at least 3 WICEN Field Stations - the more the
merrier!<br>
Its just 1 month away. Also, great preparation for John's
Gippsland Rally (Middle of Everywhere Rally) 26 - 27 August 2023<br>
