PRESIDENT'S REPORT
------------------
AS 1993 DRAWS TO A CLOSE I TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO THANK
THE COMMITTEE OF ANARTS FOR ONCE AGAIN PUTTING IN A MIGHTY
EFFORT DURING THE YEAR. THANKS TO PAT VK2JPA, OUR BROADCAST
OFFICER AND SECRETARY, FOR COLLECTING, AND COLLATING THE
BROADCAST EACH WEEK, PAT ALSO TRANSMITS THE CAST ON 146.675
MHZ EACH WEEK. THANKS PAT. THANKS ALSO TO JIM VK2BQS, VICE
PRESIDENT, CONTEST MANAGER AND RELAY OFFICER ON 20/80 Mtr AND
TO ALAN VK2DPM, TREASURER AND RELAY OFFICER FEC MODE ON 20
METRES. ALAN ALSO LOOKS AFTER OUR RTTY BBS/REPEATER ON 146.675
MHZ. THANKS JIM AND ALAN.
ANARTS WORLD WIDE RTTY CONTEST WAS A GREAT SUCCESS THIS
YEAR, JIM HAD A BUSY TIME COLLATING THE RESULTS. IT IS
PLEASING TO SEE THE SINGLE AND MULTI OPERATOR MODES WERE WON
BY AUSTRALIAN STATIONS. THERE WAS AN INCREASE OF 62 PERCENT OF
LOGS RECEIVED OVER THE 1992 CONTEST. HOWEVER THERE WERE ONLY 6
LOGS RECEIVED FROM VK STATIONS AND 12 KNOWN VK STATIONS WHO
EXCHANGED QSO DETAILS DURING THE CONTEST. SOME LOGS FROM
OVERSEAS COMMENTED ON THIS, SO NEXT YEAR, PLEASE, COULD MORE
VK'S TAKE PART, OR, IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO ENTER A LOG, EXCHANGE
DETAILS WITH A FEW OVERSEAS STATIONS. BY THE WAY OUR NEW BEAUT
WINNERS PLAQUES HAVE BEEN RECEIVED FROM THE MANUFACTURERS AND
HAVE BEEN POSTED TO THE WINNERS. CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL.
THE MEMBERSHIP OF ANARTS IS NOT ALL THAT HIGH AT THE
PRESENT TIME, IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE A FEW MORE MEMBERS. IF
YOU TAKE THIS BROADCAST ON A REGULAR BASIS AND HAVE NOT YET
JOINED, WHY NOT WRITE OR SEND A PACKET TO PAT VK2JPA VIA
VK2RWI BBS. YOU CAN ALSO EITHER SEND ME A PACKET VK2CTD VIA
VK2RWI BBS OR PHONE ME ON 02 624-3989 REPEAT 02 624-3989. WE
WILL ENSURE AN APPLICATION FORM IS SENT TO YOU.
A NEW LOOK RY'S NEWSLETTER IS ON THE DRAWING BOARD AND THE
FIRST EDITION SHOULD BE OUT SOON. IF YOU HAVE ANY NEWS OR
ARTICLES, ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT MAY BE TOO LONG FOR INCLUSION
IN BROADCASTS, OR PERHAPS HAVE A QUESTION REGARDING DIGITAL
MODES, PLEASE, AGAIN, SEND TO PAT VK2JPA. WE HOPE TO ISSUE THE
NEWSLETTER ON A MORE REGULAR BASIS.
IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO VISIT THE GOSFORD FIELD DAY IN
FEBRUARY, WHY NOT PAY A VISIT TO THE ANARTS DISPLAY. WE ARE
LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS TO ASSIST RUN THE DISPLAY OR TO RELIEVE
OTHERS FOR AN HOUR OR SO ENABLING THEM SEE THE SHOW. IF YOU
HAVE ANY IDEAS REGARDING THE DISPLAY, OR HAVE ANY RTTY
EQUIPMENT OF HISTORICAL INTEREST TO DISPLAY PLEASE LET US
KNOW.
FINALLY, I WISH ALL COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND ALL STATIONS
THAT TAKE OUR BROADCAST, A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A
PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR FILLED WITH MANY A RARE RTTY QSO, SEE YOU
ALL AT GOSFORD.

QST DE W1AW DX BULLETIN 68 ARLD068 FROM ARRL HEADQUARTERS
NEWINGTON CT DECEMBER 14, 1993 TO ALL RADIO AMATEURS
RTTY HONOR ROLL CREATED
TODAY, THE ARRL AWARDS COMMITTEE VOTED 6 ''YES'' AND 1 ''NO''
TO ACCEPT ARRL DX ADVISORY COMMITTEE (DXAC) RECOMMENDATION TO
CREATE AN HONOR ROLL FOR RTTY DXCC. QUALIFICATION FOR THIS
NEW HONOR ROLL IS THE SAME AS FOR MIXED HONOR ROLL--318
CURRENT (NOT DELETED) COUNTRIES. (JANUARY 1, 1994 ERITREA
WILL BE ADDED TO THE DXCC COUNTRIES LIST, AND THE LEVEL WILL
RISE TO 319 CURRENT COUNTRIES.)
THIS ACTION MAKES HONOR ROLLS FOR ALL DXCC ''MODE'' AWARDS.
THE RTTY DXCC ACCEPTS CONTACTS MADE USING BAUDOT, ASCII,
AMTOR, AND OTHER NON-CW DIGITAL PROTOCOLS.
PERSONS WHO QUALIFY FOR RTTY HONOR ROLL WILL BE RECOGNIZED
BASED ON THEIR RTTY DXCC RECORDS. NO OTHER ACTION IS REQUIRED.
(VIA HF PACTOR)
Alan VK2DPM back on deck
You will be glad to know that Alan VK2DPM has fully recovered
from the illness he suffered last weekend. It was a
complication from the infected throat epidemic currently
sweeping Sydney. Alan will be doing the AMTOR FEC cast, so
listen in on 14070 MHz +/- QRM, and exchange Seasons
Greetings.
--------------------------------------
ANARTS broadcast schedules for the holiday season
The broadcast will resume on 9th January 1994 with, we hope,
vastly refreshed relay officers - also your broadcast officer
will enjoy the break. We will see you again then and hope that
we receive lots of information about club activities in your
state. Of course the first event to be publicised will be the
Gosford/Wyong Field Day in February, and that information will
be in from the first cast with reminders closer to the event.
Have a great festive season and drive carefully. May your
stocking be full of electronic goodies.
de Pat VK2JPA

Anyone know if there is any shareware versions of the
alphanumeric software (that works)? I have a copy of PAGE10.ZIP
and can't get it to fly.

Does anyone know what frequencies marine bands are on? (i.e. when you use
marine radios, it just says it's Channel 2 or Channel 12 or such). I'm
pretty sure they're VHF, but I'm not sure which exact frequencies.
Please reply via e-mail as I don't normally read this newsgroup.
